We're using it for closing security flaws identified by another tool. It's boring, unchallenging work that is nonetheless still important. It's also repetitive and uncreative enough that I'm comfortable having a machine do it.

There's still human review but when it's stuff like "your error messages should escape variables" or "write a longer function name" having a tool that can do most of the grunt work is valuable.
