Comment on AI coding assistants do not boost productivity or prevent burnout, study finds

The few times I have used AI to help me with coding has mostly been to ask it for examples on how to use a specific feature, then it has been ok for the most part.
I mostly code in PowerShell, HTML and CSS, and Bing Chat helpful when I am stuck on a small issue.
We also recently started testing Copilot Pro 365, the one that can help you make documents or search through company documents and stuff like that.
As a test I asked it to make me a powerpoint presentation about the top ten podcasting microphones to buy.
The result looked great at first glance, but quicly got very generic.
Sure, it did show pictures of some microphones and even spoke about them, but it was just vauge and generic
