In my experience, you can't expect it to deliver great working code, but it can always point you in the right direction.
There were some situations in which I just had no idea on how to do something, and it pointed me to the right library. The code itself was flawed, but with this information, I could use the library documentation and get it to work.
It can point you in a direction, for sure, but sometimes you find out much later that it's a dead-end.
Which is, of course, true for every source of information that can point you in a direction.
