As other have have already said, this is highly context dependant but I want to bring some examples.

- It sometimes generate decent examples of linux kernel api usage for modules, which saves a lot of time digging in the limited documentation. But most of the time it will mix deprecated a new version of the api and it will very likely have very suboptimal and/buggy choices.

- for embedded C, it won't be able to work within the constraints of a very specific project (e.g. using obscure or custom hal), but for generic C or rtos applications it can generate between decent and half decent suggestions.

- almost never seen it generate decent verilog
