I think it can do some stuff, especially some entry level tedium.

So far I haven't seen a single success on the specific things I've tried it for, even when pretty short, other than exceedingly trivial things like reminding me whether this language has a join as a string method or as an array method of o don't use it that often.

I do see potential for an awkward gap between unskilled and skilled where an entry level person doesn't have as clear a path to getting actually better. In math this generally happens in school, where they keep students from using the most effective tools until they prove they can do without it. So education might have to go a bit further into programming skills rather than delegating quite so much to the professional workplace that may be less inclined.
