It's very good at mechanical tasks like detecting near-duplicate code and generating a reusable method from it, an it's scarily good at guessing that if I want to initialise a variable called languageVersion then I probably want to get the value from getStaticContext().getPackage().getHostLanguage().getVersion(). It illustrates just how repetitive a lot of our coding is. And of course, it's just like self-driving cars. When it gets it right 99% of the time, we'll start getting lazy and not notice when it's getting it wrong, with fatal consequences. Michael Kay Saxonica
