As you step outside regular Stack Overflow questions for top-3 languages, you run into limitations of these predictive models.

There's no "reasoning" behind them. They are still, largely, bullshit machines.

you're both on the wrong wavelength. No one has claimed it is better than an expert human yet. Be glad, for now your jobs are safe, why not use it as a tool to boost your productivity, yes, even though you'll get proportionally less use than others in other perhaps less "expert" jobs.

In order for it to boost productivity it needs to answer more than the regular questions for the top-3 languages on Stackoverflow, no?

It often fails even for those questions.

If I need to babysit it for every line of code, it's not a productivity boost.
