Depends, in a lot of cases it costs them more money to service the query than they charge 😅.
Although it’s all borrowed money so it doesn’t matter to them…
Still causing all that havoc on the environment and poisoning with potentially proprietary stolen code though…
They’re gonna be running those data centers regardless though, as most of the compute time is spent on training new models…
It can be good at generating boilerplate code or copying an existing solution, so maybe it might be useful for less critical parts such as adding a GUI for some feature that was previously limited to the command line…

The secret part is generally just who is in the organisation, hence the gator masks.
The copyright concerns can be mitigated somewhat by prompting to follow existing patterns in the codebase(and double checking that it has done that when reviewing the generated code)
