There's a lot of ads/propaganda/influencer BS/copywriting about how incredible AI but the reality is that its not "that" good. VCs want a return on their investment.

Also I suggest giving it low-level instructions. Its half-decent for low level stuff especially if it has access to preexisting code. Also note that it does exactly what you tell it to do like a genie. I've asked it to write a func that already exists in the codebase and it wrote a massive chunk of code. It wasn't until after it was done that I remembered we already have the solution to the problem done. Anyhow the hype is unreal so tailor expectations accordingly.
