Even for humans the estimates are way off, unless it's based on data that has some serious padding.
That said, it'll often say "2 days of work" and then complete the coding in 30 minutes, and while that's amusing, afterwards, I'll need to manually test, or send to other people for review, or realize the agent only actually did half the work and I need to do a second pass (or a third etc.) and then often getting the feature in does genuinely take two days.
