It does offer value. It can code up some simple functions that I would need to spend actual time to write. As an experienced coder, I know what to ask for to get decent results that save me time
I agree that for some coding things it's handy and saves time. It wrote me a WordPress plugin for an abandoned radio streaming plugin so I could get usable stats. It would have taken me a long time to write the SQL and php code by hand, for something I'll likely never do again.
It didn't get it entirely right first time though.
You're right, it doesn't always get it right the first time. But neither do I, so I'm not saving time doing it myself
