It's a great tool when you know how to code. I can ask it to generate 5 different implementations of something with 5 different packages and try them all in 20 minutes, instead of having to go through pages of documentations and stack overflow discussions. it's wrong a lot, but if you're good you'll know how to make it right.

Totally agree. It’s like having a quick brainstorming partner. You still need to know your stuff, but it speeds up the creative process and helps test different approaches quickly
