I've used it for basic python and bash scripts. It seems to work well. Much faster than I do and in some cases has helped me figure out how to implement something.

It would work better with something more stable, so pure language use without frameworks or frameworks that are older and therefore don’t have many breaking changes in new versions. It can certainly be helpful though, it is super interesting technology. But in the end you still have to do the actual work yourself. Maybe Github’s Copilot works even better, haven’t tried that yet :)
Definitely very good for tedious functions that you can describe easily. Definitely a big time saver. I did notice that using it for debugging, it often swaps back and forth between its answers backtracking to suggestions that didn't work.....just like a human
What is really cool is that it can easily translate American recipes into the metric system so I can understand them :) And it can describe a computer as Terry Pratchett would:
"Ah, my dear friend, let me tell you a tale of the magical devices we call computers. They are powerful wizards, capable of performing incredible feats of magic with the mere flick of a switch.
You see, within the computer lies a cunning imp known as the central processing unit, or CPU for short. This imp is the brains of the operation, directing all the other components like a master conductor.
The CPU is constantly busy, receiving instructions from a spellbook known as memory. These instructions are written in a language known as code, and they tell the CPU what tasks to perform.
As the CPU works its magic, it relies on a trusty companion known as the memory or RAM, which acts as its spellbook. The memory stores all the information the CPU needs to perform its tasks, such as the code for the programs you are running and the data you are working with.“
