From my experience it’s great at doing things that have been done 1000x before (which makes sense given the training data), but when it comes to building something novel it really struggles, especially if there’s 3rd party libraries involved that aren’t commonly used. So you end up spending a lot of time and money hand holding it through things that likely would have been quicker to do yourself.

Not really, but the yen is very weak and they are facing a rapidly aging population crisis.

Yeah in my last role we were probably the biggest user of a certain storage service that was still kinda new, there were quite a few times we found bugs, features that straight up didn’t work how the documentation stated, and aws sent us workaround scripts that seriously looked like an unpaid intern wrote.

I’m not sure if GCP/Azure would be much different though.
