I think it just depends on the complexity of what you are working with. For the simpler stuff it seems to work very well. However it becomes a gigantic time sink if you try to use it for more complex tasks, you just go in circles while it has no real idea of what to do. It's not just more complex code it struggles with, it could be simple code in complex systems as well, where a foundational understanding of the different parts is essential.
The people writing boring crud apps should be scared (but I think it's a failure in our industry that this is still a thing).
The technical debt that will be amassed by AI coding is worrying however. Coworkers here routinely try to merge inn stuff that is just absolute slop, and now I even have to argue with them on the basis that they think it's right because the AI wrote it...
