MODERATORS
I use these tools extensively, and they absolutely do not replace the need for a coder. The reality is that they're fundamentally incapable of telling whether something is correct or not in the business sense. And Simply churning out a ton of wrong code really fast doesn't actually help anybody.
They certainly can be a help for a developer. For example, I can fluently write code in any language now even if I'm not familiar with the stack or syntax. A skill that would've taken months of effort to build previously. But in terms of actual workflow, it's not all that much faster because I still have to review what the tool is doing, and human comprehension is still the bottleneck in the whole process.
