Just because a hammer makes for a lousy screwdriver doesn't mean it's not a good hammer. To me, AI just another tool. Like any other tool, there's things it is good at and there are things it is bad at. I've also found it can be pretty good as a code completion engine. Not perfect, but there's plenty of boilerplate stuff and repetitive things where it can figure out the pattern and I can bang out the lines of code pretty quickly with the AI's help. On the other hand, there's times it's nearly useless and I switch back to the keyword completion engine as it's the better tool for those situations.
If you invent a hammer which reduces the average structural stability anywhere from 5% to 40% then it should be banned.
