    It’s pretty useful if you know exactly what you want and how to work within it’s limitations.

    Coworkers around me already use ChatGPT to generate code snippets for Python, Excel VBA, etc. to good success.

      Right, it’s a tool with quirks, techniques and skills to use just like any other tool. ChatGPT has definitely saved me time and on at least one occasion, kept me from missing a deadline that I probably would have missed if I went about it “the old way” lmao

      You mean they’re using it to write boilerplate which shouldn’t have been written in the first place.

        Call it whatever makes you feel happy, it is allowing me to accomplish things much more quickly and easily than working without it does.

        Why? If you know how to incorporate “boilerplate” and modify it correctly into your own code, what difference does it make if its from ChatGPT or Stackoverflow?
