Ya it's great for exploring options. Anything that's raw textual is good enough to give you a general idea. And moreoftenthannot it will catch a mistake about the explanation if you ask for a clarification. But actual code? Nah, it's about a 50/50 if it gets it right the first time and even then the style is never to my liking
