I find it's useful when writing new code because it can give you a quick first draft of each function, but most of the time I'm modifying existing applications and it's less useful for that. And you still need to be able to judge for yourself whether the code it offers is any good.
I find it's great for explaining convoluted legacy code, it's all about utilizing it effectively
It really depends
If you want to avoid these issues I'd suggest to first read the docs, then look up stack overflow or likely name of a function you need to write on grep.app, then use a LLM as your last resort. Good for prototyping usually, less so for more specific things.
