Don't you still have to explain your requirement really well to it, in a lot of detail? In a terse language like Python, I might as well just write the code. In a verbose language like Java, perhaps there is more of a value in detailing the requirement.
It depends on what you're doing.
If you're writing something specific to your particular problem, or thinking through how to structure your data, or even working on something tough to describe in words like UI design, it probably is easier to just code it yourself in most high-level languages. On the other hand, if you're just trying to get a framework or library to do something and you don't want to spend a bunch of time reading the docs to remember the special incantations needed to just make it do the thing you already know it can do, the AI speeds things up considerably.
An abstraction machete. Heh.
This is a wonderful term for it!
Not really, most of the changes are straightforward. Also, alot of the time it writes better syntax than i would. Sometimes I write a bunch of psuedo code and hsave it fill in the detials, then write the tests

How on earth are you conveying your intent to the model? Or is your intent so CRUDdy that it doesn't need to be conveyed?
