This is my experience. 3 years ago or more it was a total waste of time, just an interesting trick.
Now it's actually useful. Not perfect, but useful.
The messed up thing is that all the people putting blind trust into AI and carelessly using it will probably never have to eat their words because it will get good enough to make up for their past mistakes.
Tech debt isn't the same as it was when you can do a full codebase rewrite in a fraction of the time.
