Unfortunately, the article does not write about how people use it.
I use it to skip reading docs. Either it works, or I read the docs, sometimes in parallel, whatever is faster.
Oftentimes I just forgot how some function is called.
I'm still in the testing phase and in more than 50% of the cases its crap. Halizination is a real problem with those models that I've used.
I use it mainly for code completion, and it's great until I hit <tab> to indent and accidentally accept a 50 line suggestion.
I limit suggestions to one line, that's the sweet spot for me.
