AI is so good for boilerplate code. Sure I could spend 25 minutes googling the intricacies of matplotlib for the 50th time, or I could just describe the figure i want in plain text. Sure it's basic and has been done billions of times before, but that's why AI is so good at it.

AI is good for the sort of boilerplate stuff you could find in 10 min on StackOverflow as-is. It's mostly just a glorified search engine for stuff like that.
It's absolute garbage if you have a problem that's at all novel, but it's just good enough at scraping the web for boilerplate stuff to fool a lot of people into thinking it has a clue what it's doing.
