Writing apps with AI seems pretty cooked. But I've had some great successes using GitHub copilot for some annoying scripting work.

I think it's useful for writing mundane snippets I've written a million times or helping me with languages I'm less familiar with, but anything more compex becomes pretty spaghetti pretty quick.

Once a task requires context and abstract thinking, AI can't handle it.
