I dunno about that. I honestly tried to extract _any_ value in my day to day work from LLMs, but aside from being an OK alternative to Google/SO, I mostly did find it to be a crutch.

I never had issues with quickly writing a draft or typing in code. I do realise that for a lot of people, starting on a green field is hard, but for me it's easier.

My going hypotheses is that people are just different, and some get true value out of it while others don't. If it works for you, I'm not gonna call you names for it.



I guess that it depends on how popular your thing. If you are doing something not done before or really unique, then hope for useful hints is lower.

If you do something done 10000 times before or is mix of two things done over and over then you are more likely to get advise.


Exactly. It's a time-saver for bureaucratic chores. And that's great. There is no need to strive for excellence when mediocrity is required.

Useless for anything that requires originality, elaborate humor, or finesse.


Yes, try it with a proprietary language, a closed source environment and lots of domain and application knowledge required to achieve anything. There ChatGPT is completely out of it.
