I work for Google, and I just got done with my work day. I was just writing I guess what you'd call "AI generated code."

But the code completion engine is basically just good at finishing the lines I'm writing. If I'm writing "function getAc..." it's smart enough to complete to "function getActionHandler()", and maybe suggest the correct arguments and a decent jsdoc comment.

So basically, it's a helpful productivity tool but it's not doing any engineering at all. It's probably about as good, maybe slightly worse, than Copilot. (I haven't used it recently though.)
