The problem with these generative systems is that they're synthesizing existing code and their output isnt therefore always valid. Ie., they arent programming (which involves following discrete constraints of the language).

They are, therefore, largely tools for power-users. You need to understand why codepiolt/etc. is suggesting a completion before its actually useful.

If you prefer: Intelligence is knowing what question to ask, and knowing how to validate the answer.
