So far as I can tell, generative AI coding tools make the easy part of the job go faster, without helping with the hard part of the job - in fact, possibly making it harder. Coding just doesn't take that much time, and I don't need help doing it. You could make my coding output 100x faster without materially changing my overall productivity, so I simply don't bother to optimize there.

I have it write algorithms, explain why my code isnt working, write API calls, or make specific functions.

The entire code? Not there, but with debuggers, I've even started doing that a bit.
