But doesn’t it also waste a few seconds of your time here and there when it fails to autocomplete and writes bad code you have to understand and fix?

Typically you have to confirm additions and cancellation is just a press of ESC key. Ctrl+z is available too.

Even when the code is not 100% correct, it's often faster to select it and make the small.fix myself than to type all of it out myself. It's surprisingly good about keeping your patterns for naming and using recent edits as context for what you are likely to do next around your cursor position, even across files.
