Thankfully I don't find it subtle but plain wrong for anything but trivial stuff. I use it (and pay an AI subscription) for things where false positive won't ruin the day, like parameters validation.
But for anything advanced, it's pretty hopeless.
I've talked with lawyers: same thing. With doctors: same thing.
Which ain't no surprise see how these things do work.

Probably lots of highly repetitive boilerplate stuff everywhere. Which in itself is quite horrifying if you think about it.
