This is my experience. It saves a bit of typing sometimes but that's probably cancelled out by the time spent correcting it, rewriting nonsense it produced, and reviewing my corworkers PRs that didn't notice the nonsense.

Here's where I'll give it credit:

  1. It can spit out a beautiful readme.md file
  2. It will insert comments to explain the more nuanced aspects of my code for those viewing it for the first time

Doesn't make up for the annoying-ass auto complete hijacking though. Stupid thing keeps making up non-existent functions and api's and inserting them all over the place.
