  React and JS so I think it has some benefits since 1) it has a large corpus of recent training data, 2) the browser gives pretty good errors. I also tried it and the biggest issue I ran into is that I'm very specific about what I want. I wanted to use `nanostores` for state and routing. Problem is that the LLM keeps using code from `react-router` instead of `@nanostores/router`. As soon as I point it out, the LLM fixes it, but the first pass code generation is almost always wrong, even using an instruction file (as documented in both Cursor and GH Copilot). That's when I realized that we are using the AI in two totally different ways: he simply doesn't care about the implementation, prop drilling, any of the technical details. None of that matters to him except that when "this button is clicked, that action happens". So however complex or inefficient or imperfect the code is, he doesn't care whereas I still have a tendency to read the code and try to ask the AI to do it in specific ways.
