I can think of tons of things I do in my day-to-day programming that, while certainly not new or remarkable advances in technology, are at least new enough that you're not going to find a Stack Overflow thread for it.
Again, you guys are pointing to a code generator that can generate functions or code snippets to accomplish a particular task, and again, that is cool and I think it has a huge usage if nothing else as an assistive learning tool when you're trying to pick up a new language or get better with a library or what have you. But again, my point is, ask it to do something that doesn't appear in a bunch of those threads. Ask it to solve a particular bugbear problem in your codebase. Ask it to invent a new language, even a high level one.

AI is not a reasoning machine, though. I'd be very interested in what you mean by the word "reasoning" in this context.

I don't. I might solve current issues, new error messages from new/other libraries etc. but not something novel new.
"reasoning": thinking about a problem, reasoning about potential solutions, estimating the best action, executing it, retrying.
Reasoning in sense of, if the error message indicates a hibernate issue, reducing the search space for solution finding.
