+## What is this post?
+
+I used [GitHub Copilot](https://copilot.github.com/) to write everything. All I
+did myself (being a human) was write a couple words and let it finish it off.
+I'll put any text that I wrote myself in an "aside" box, like you can see on
+this paragraph.

+
+## What is Copilot?
+
+Copilot is a [Cloud Native
+Computing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing). It's used for
+managing the lifecycle of your application. It's also used as a tool for
+creating and managing Copilot projects.
+
+## What is this?
+
+This is an article about [GitHub Copilot]() and the Copilot CLI. It's a tool for
+creating and managing Copilot projects. I wrote it to help me learn the [GitHub
+Copilot API]() and to learn how to use the CLI. You can read more about the API
+[here](https://developer.github.com/v4/explorer/). Next time you want to learn
+more about Copilot, check out the [GitHub Copilot
+docs](https://developer.github.com/apps/copilot/).
+
+## Why is this?
+
+Because I'm a developer and I like to learn new things. This is a tool I wrote
+to learn how the Copilot API works. It's a tool for creating and managing
+Copilot projects. I wrote it to help me learn the [GitHub Copilot API]() and to
+learn how to use the CLI. You can read more about the API

+
+## How did I write this?
+
+I used [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) to write this article. It's a static site
+generator that makes it easy to create and manage a blog. GitHub Copilot is what
+I use to create and manage Copilot projects.
+
+## How do I use this?

+## Code blocks
+
+{{< aside >}}
+These next subsections are written by GitHub Copilot. All I did was write the
+section headers, start the code block, and type some comments to get it started.
+I have no idea if the code actually works (or even does anything at all), so
+test it at your own risk!

+
+I found out that GitHub Copilot can write in Markdown, so I decided to get it to
+write a blog post for me. Here's how I did it.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+## Preface
+
+I recommend you read my [other blog post about Copilot]({{< ref
+"/blog/github-copilot-experiments/index.md" >}}) where I showed a bunch of
+examples of code I generated using Copilot. Near the end of it, I started to
+experiment asking some questions to it, rather than using it to generate code.
+That turned out to be a great idea, and led to the creation of this blog post.
+
+## Writing English with Copilot
+
+After using Copilot as an encyclopedia, I got an idea. What if I used GitHub
+Copilot to generate ideas?
+
+{{< figure src="print-a-news-article" >}}
+
+I decided to take it a step further and set the language to Markdown. I started
+writing out the basic structure of a blog post on my website and let it
+autocomplete.
+
+{{< figure src="copilot-blog-post" >}}
+
+I'm not quite sure who Kurt A. Smith is, why Copilot chose April Fools 2020 for
+the date, or why it was so adamant on writing a blog post about itself. What I
+do know is that I would be able to write a blog post. All I had to do was type a
+word or two, and Copilot turned it into a couple sentences.
+
+## The finished product
+
+The actual blog post written by Copilot is available [here]({{< ref "../copilot-post/" >}}).
