I find that I don't use it as much for generating code as I do for automating tedious operations. For example, moving a bunch of repeating-yourself into a function, then converting the repeating blocks into function calls. The LLM's really good at doing that quickly without requiring me to perform dozens of copy-paste operations, or a bunch of multi-cursor-fu.
Also, I don't use it to generate large blocks of code or complicated logic.
