I’ve not found this to be a beneficial feature. Aside from being prone to erroring out, it tends to write code that will run, but is not very well-organized. You then have to revise. In the standard UI, I can include instructions to structure everything as functions or classes, alongside whatever other constraints, review and provide feedback, until it’s actually correct. This also almost runs for me on the first try.
