To much AI for my taste. In my point of view a simple Chat GPT is fare more enough to use as code assistance ( junior dev ) plus can create content: text, images. All this AI good for solve some minor single layer problem, or make documentation - which is don't read anyone. Or maybe create some test case. But if you would like to create something out of mainstream then quality is drop down shortly. More or less, AI on current state is great helper but nothing more. ( imho )
