It's almost as if being able to generate boilerplate code is only like 5% of software development.

That being said, its great at generating boilerplate code or in my case, doing something like 'make a react component here please that does this small thing, and is aligned with the style in the rest of the file'. Good for when I need to work with code bases or technologies that are not my daily. Also a great research assistant.

But I guess being a 'better google' or a 'glorified spellchecker' doesn't get that hype money.
