It's still very meh. Like does anyone remember those visual studio wizards for doing something? AI tools are about that good, roughly. But the difference is, you still have to review everything with the AI tool because it'll still make mistakes.
I use AI maybe once or twice a month, but it's far from, replaced my snippets with Ctrl+H replacing keywords.
I don't think I could ever have an AI actively modify my code. I use one semi regularly but just for the first steps of research and brainstorming ideas. It often never lands exactly on what I need but the process helps me think a bit better and to avoid the shortcomings that the AI often produces in responses.
