I've used it to craft a quick PowerShell or bash oneliner, or to get familiar with a function in some python package I've never used. But an entire program?

Well, executives like to oversell the ability of genAI, so people think it can fully replace human coders right now. In actuality, it's just a more resource wasting Google. I usually try to look for code with public domain license instead to copy and modify (I try to credit the original authors nevertheless), and rarely peek into less permissive codes (had to do it for some OS API stuff, because people forgot how do do what SDL does without using SDL, my worst offense was to check the keyboard scancode lookup table in multiple Linux versions).
