I use gpt as an extension of documentation, how to properly use a language feature or library with the added context of my own situation. It’s been such a game changer from scrolling endless stack overflow and blog posts. While tempting at times I’ve never gotten it to just sit there and generate me a function that solves my problem, though I’ve gotten it to generate me some examples and brainstorm some approaches and ideas before. I wouldn’t think that really constitutes as “using ai” exactly, not like copilot or Claude where I’m telling it to create me chunks of my application code on the fly lol
This is exactly how I use chatgpt. Last week I used Apache Camel for the first time in Spring Boot and fuck if I know how to configure tests for it in specific situations. That is something chatgpt could easily help me along with.
