Yeah I've used it for personal projects and it's 50/50 for me.
Some of the stuff generated I can't believe is actually good to work with long term, and I wonder about the economics of it. It's fun to get something vaguely workable quickly though.
Things like deepwiki are useful too for open source work.
For me though the core problem I have with AI programming tools is that they're targeting a problem that doesn't really exist outside of startups, not writing enough code, instead of the real part of inefficiency in any reasonably sized org, coordination problems.
Of course if you tried to solve coordination problems, then it would probably be a lot harder to sell to management because we'd have to do some collective introspection as to where they come from.

Sad but true. Better to sell to management and tagline it as "you don't need a whole team anymore.", or going so far as "you can do this all by yourself now!".
Sadly managers usually have more money to spend than the workers too, so it's more profitable.
