The generative AI can help students and others who are learning to code in a computer language, but can it actually improve productivity for real, full-time developers who are fluent in that language? I think that question is currently debatable... (but it is improving rapidly) ... We may reach that point within a year or two.
On balance I would now say that even a fluent programmer may get some benefits from its use. Given the speed of improvement, it is likely that all commercial programming will use an AI assistant within a few years.
To delay the inevitable and not embed it into your work process is like King Canute commanding the sea to retreat.
The new Chat window within your IDE gives you a context-sensitive version of Copilot ChatGPT that can act as a pair programmer and code reviewer for your work.
