Yeah I've found its good for getting something basic started from scratch, but often times if I try to iterate, it starts hallucinating very fast and forgetting what it was even doing after a short while.
Newer models have gotten better at this and it takes longer before they start making things gibberish but all of them have their limit.
And given the size of lots of enterprise codebases like the ones I'm working in, it just is too far away from being useful enough to replace many programmers in my opinion. I'm convinced the CEO's who are saying AI are replacing programmers are just using it as an excuse to downsize while getting investors happy.
