It's useful when you want to write some algorithm using specific versions of libraries. It first craps out wrong functions but after 1 or 2 redirects it usually shoots something that I then adapt to my use-case. I usually try googling it first but when most fucking guides use the new way of coding and I'm forced to use fixed versions due to company regulations, it gets frustrating to check if every function of known algorithms is available in the version I'm using and if it's not, which replacement would be appropriate.
It might hallucinate from time to time but it usually gives me good enough ideas/alternatives for me to be able to work around it.
I also use it to format emails and obscure hardware debugging. It's pretty bad but pretty bad is better than again, 99% of google results suggesting the same thing. GPT suggests you a different thing once you tell it you tried the first one.
As always, it's a tool and knowing that the answers aren't 100% accurate and you need to cross-check them is enough to make it useful.
