My fault for poor wording, what I mean it understands the code its commenting on, and writes useful comments that I would normally write myself, and can also write simple boilerplate code for me.

So for example if I start typing 'while' it will let me tab complete out the whole skeleton of that loop. For simpler things it even seems to be able to guess my intentions and actually populate the loop and its conditions.

> what I mean it understands the code its commenting

As in the business case for the code existing? Like linking it to a specific requirement?

In that very specific scenario, no. Fortunately there are many more use cases for comments other than just linking to design docs and jira tickets.
