As a developer I use it mainly for learning.
What used to be a Google followed by skimming a few articles or docs pages is now a question.
It pulls the specific info I need, sources it and allows follow up questions.
I've noticed the new juniors can get up to speed on new tech very quickly nowadays.
As for code I don't trust it beyond snippets I can use as a base.
JFC they've certainly got the unethical shills out in full force today. Language Models do not and will never amount to proper human work. It's almost always a net negative everywhere it is used, final products considered.
Then you're using it wrong.
Its intended use is to replace human work in exchange for lower accuracy. There is no ethical use case scenario.
It's intended to show case its ability to generate text. How people use it is up to them.
As I said it's great for learning as it's very accurate when summarising articles / docs. It even sources it so you can read up more if needed.
It's been known to claim commands and documentation exist when they don't. It very commonly gets simple addition wrong.
That's because it's a language processor not a calculator. As I said you're using it wrong.
So the correct usage is to have documents incorrectly explained to you? I fail to see how that does any good.
I know you do buddy.
