My run-through and assessment---which I wrote up on my blog but haven't had time to republish here---was similar but less generous. If you're a fledgling programmer who writes (bad) comments along the lines of "sort the input array from low to high, using the mergesort algorithm," it works as an excellent assistant...but you're still the senior developer in the relationship.
However, once you try to put it to real work, you're suddenly stranded in a Douglas Adams novel, where the AI tries to tell you what you should do instead, then flubs that task, more often than not.

This! ☝️
Agree. I started using it at my work, and so far is far from impressive.
