That’s how I use it in code. Especially seeing my old stuff.
“This is gross, I don’t know what I was thinking. Use the method I used in this and match the formatting.”
Saves me 15 mins retyping out a full block or method.
When I use it to do anything new, I’m 80% done and tell it the tidy up. It’s real bad at joining in on the coding and just fucks things. But it’s useful and fast at crossing my t’s and dotting my i’s. Doing things like a final logic sweep like, “You refer to this in this logic but that block isn’t calling in the thing you’re implying.” You know, those things on line 350 that drive you insane for an hour until you finally have that, “Fuck! I’m an idiot!” moment and fix it in a couple keystrokes.
I’m not a skilled coder but sometimes need/want to get things done. So I’ll try my best get something that doesn’t quite work right then ask it to tell me what’s wrong and fix it. Once it works I ask it to explain the issue further. Its helped me learn.

That’s assistance.
