It has made me stop using Google and StackOverflow. I can look most things up quickly, not rubber duck with other people, and thus I am more efficient. It also it is good at spotting bugs in a function if the APIs are known and the APIs version is something it was trained on. If I need to understand what something is doing, it can help annotate the lines.

I use it to improve my code, but I still cannot get it to do anything that is moderately complex. The paper tracks with what I've experienced.

I do think it will continue to rapidly evolve, but it probably is more of a cognitive aid than a replacement. I try to only use it when I am tight on time. or need a crutch to help me keep going.
