  Reading your comment, regardless of AI I think that.

  You're obviously getting a lot of pushback, do you think people here haven't used these tools? Yes it's great at React/Frontend. Because that is mainly boilerplate. Hooking up click handlers and validators and submit buttons and fetch calls is boilerplate. It's just busy work. There can be complicated FE work, like making something like google maps, but how many of us ever need to do that? Most of the time if you did need to do something complicated, you get a library to do it ALL for you. Charts, maps, etc. If you've worked on more niche languages/tools/problems you start seeing behind the curtain. The trick. It's essentially just copying someone else's code and replacing the variables. I've inherited some robot framework tests. I tried it to fix a problem, the code it spat out (v1) was nonsense. I told it. It spat out some different code, v2. It's still wrong. It then spat out v1 again! It seemed to only have these two "templates" to use. No matter how I framed the questions, v1, v2, v1, v2, v1, v2. They didn't even compile. Hence why it's great at React, there are millions of examples for it to combine and refine. I'd love AI to take away a lot of boring coding. But in my honest experience anything much longer than 100/200 lines and the AI starts screwing it up. It can't work on a full codebase. It even does incredibly irritating things like remove code that's needed, forgetting code changes it's already made, and worse still deleting code updates or fixes you've made.
