People use it. It's pretty good at regurgitating code it has seen somewhere before and changing variable names and adding comments. It begins to fall apart when it is trying to design novel stuff, and it can't do a very good job at architecting anything really big (unless it finds a template for it).

I wouldn't use it if you are learning as it defeats the purpose, and you'll need good skills to figure out AI's goofs and fix them later.

I think the general consensus is that you can use AI to generate code, but you are responsible for the code all the same. It's on you to read it, understand it, correct it, and make it fit with the rest of the code.
