The biggest value I get from AI in this space is when I get handed a pile of spagehtti and ask for an initial overview.
I thought that as well and got some code from someone that left the company and asked it to comment it.
It did the obvious "x= 5 // assign 5 to x" crap comments and then it got to the actually confusing part and just skipped that mess entirely....
