Some opinions out there that people are using them as slot machines, are using them in place of project templates and aren't really working on things of substance, or they are in the business of producing artifacts that look like work but the fitness is determined elsewhere. If they are producing working code beyond autocomplete style capabilities they either are disinterested in the long term supportability, ignoring all of the handholding they have to do to get things to work, or don't understand that experienced programmers ultimately get to a point where they are not writing that much code to begin with which isn't something these tools can help much with other than rubber duck style bouncing off of ideas... but even then on the bleeding edge of capabilities you get exponentially more and more bits from unrelated patterns that make the internal weights work the closer you get away from well worn development paths.
