The problem I have with it is that all the time it saves me I have to use on reading the code. I probably spend more time on that as once in a while the code it produces is broken in a subtle way.
I see some people swearing by it, which is the opposite of my experience. I suspect that if your coding was copying code from stack overflow then it indeed improved your experience as now this process is streamlined.
I use Codeium and I've found it helpful for things like guessing what the next line is if it's similar to the line I just wrote, but terrible if I'm thinking about how to actually solve a problem and it keeps suggesting wrong answers that make me think about them, realize they're wrong, forget the solution I was working on in my head before that.
