I tried Codeium, it is better than Copilot by many reviews.
It can generate boilerplate code or boilerplate tests, JSDoc generation is really neat.
But "refactor" feature usually break something, autocomplete sometimes helpful, more often annoying.
Basically all of it is searching and copy pasting some SO code on steroids. Useful in some cases, but no miracles. And everything had to be checked manually.

Of course Alex, we should use these tools to increase our productivity, and not rely 100% on the generated code...
Always review the information and see if it makes sense
