My two use cases are project brainstorming and boilerplate code, which saves a lot of time for me. For example sometimes I find an interesting paper and want to try it out in Python. If they did not provide code that will take some time and trial and error to get it running. Or I just copy the whole paper into ChatGPT and get an initial script that sometimes even works with it’s first try. But that is not the point, I can do the last steps myself, it really is a time saver for me with regards to programming.
It’s really useful for programming. It’s not always right but it has good approaches and you can ask it to write tedious parts of your code like long switch statements. Most of my programming problems were solved because I just explained the problem like Rubber Duck Debugging.
For what? I have zero use for any AI products

I use it for programming questions.
immediate replies so I don’t have to switch tasks while praying for an answer
no suggestions that I just do the whole thing differently
infinite patience
Don’t forget the other benefits of using AI for programming:
It may make up shit that doesn’t exist or just give you wrong syntax
It will give you the same wrong answer repeatedly until you get irritated and it hangs up on you
Is way too goddamned excited while giving you shit answers until you run out of patience
I like using it for help, but goddamn do I want to throw my laptop out the window some days.
💯. Although sometimes I feel like berating the AI is more satisfying; it’s all his fault I haven’t solved this yet!
