While it's pretty decent at coding, it's often (in my experience) either giving you an overcomplicated way, an outdated way or just completely wrong code.

What I do really like is that when you ask for a snippet you can easely ask for variations, like: "make it a bit shorter", "add comments" or "don't/do use library X". This allows you to quickly get a few variations that allows you to come up with something of your own.

On a slightly other note, I've been impressed by github Copilot on this subject. While still often wrong, with small things it almost feels like it's reading my mind while programming.
