There are plenty in this post, and I'm one of them.
It may or may not be great for job prospects, but as someone who isn't one of you fancy startup/FAANG super programmers it's great for me to be able to ask it design problems, what the 'best' way to do a certain thing is, or tell it "I need a function given x,y, and z that does this and returns this."
There are plenty of instances where it doesn't make sense to use it, but I always have a tab with ChatGPT open when coding now. Always.
It's good if you have some domain knowledge and can kind of detect the bullshit there, and also just in cases where there is large amounts of training data. I am in big tech and I use it pretty much every day, mostly in cases where I would have spent a lot of time googling before.
