You mean useful to a programmer, or as useful as a programmer?

Ah - yeah I read that wrong. It's useful to a programmer.

I explicitly meant "as". It's great as autocomplete. Not as an agent to complete programming tasks.

Thanks for clarifying.

I love the weird need to downplay just how good AIs are by calling them "autocomplete".
