Personally, this just seems to me to model slight inexperience pretty well. But just like junior developers are not useless, I find GPT, copilot, etc. to be a force multiplier. It can generate, in 2 seconds, a 15-line function to do a simple thing which is nearly always either correct or needs one small tweak to satisfy me. This allows me to focus my brain 100% on the interesting parts of the problem domain. To me, it feels exactly like having a bright junior developer at a second keyboard twiddling his thumbs all day, waiting for me to need some trivial grunt work task.
