I’ve found, even using the latest models, there are some time saving nuggets but mostly subtle config difficulties that just cause an enormous amount of debugging and a net negative on balance, unless you’re just asking for super targeted tasks like “set up a docker compose file” or “give me an NSD config.” But with both of those you need to already know you need the underlying tech and what to ask.
