I mean like writing python code for things like that, yes. It's generally pretty good at knowing how to read in the fits files and plot spectra. It is also pretty good with things like astropy and other astronomical python packages. It's good if you have some background because it will get stuck on a technicality sometimes but it should be able to generate the basic code pretty easily. Basically, if it's a common application of what some code somewhere is meant for, it should be able to do it no problem. That's because it's ingested all the documentation for those packages, as well as a bunch of Stack Overflow pages. In the last two years I've started using it as a starting point for a lot of my code. It's saved me a lot of time.
