    It’s awesome for debugging for me.

    Also helped me a few times with recursive logic.

    As with any AI solution it’s “garbage in. Garbage out.”

    Write your code normally. Then ask to generate comments? Add logging? Any tips for improvements?

    You have to already know how to code so you know what to ignore.
