Working code some subset of the time, for popular languages. It’s not good at Rust nor at other smaller languages. Tried to ask it for some help with Janet and it was hopelessly wrong, even with prompting to try to get it to correct its mistakes.

Even if it did work, working code is barely half the battle.
