AI code assistants currently are like that senior dev

More like a junior dev.

That's how i always describe them. Over-eager junior devs that are trying to impress you with how fast they can get stuff done. Have a lot of book learning but don't know when to apply certain things. Sometimes, i feel like it should really only be a tool for senior devs because it feels a lot like mentoring a team of noobs
