I certainly keep an eye on these developments, but I think the jury is still out on how useful/beneficial they actually are in practice. Generating more code in less time is not a useful measure of productivity for me.

Agree the jury is still out, but "More code in less time" is a shallow strawman. The better question is what is it good at and what is it not good at, and what are the ways to best leverage those capabilities. I've seen enough use cases from enough engineers now that I firmly believe anyone saying "nope never useful" is sticking their head in the sand.
