Which is honestly its best use case. That and occasionally asking it to generate a one-liner for a library call I don't feel like looking up. Any significant generation tends to go off the rails fast.

Getting it to format documentation for you seems to work a treat. Nothing too complex, just "move this bit here, split that into points".

I've been using it to write unit tests, I still need to edit them to mock out some things and change a bit of logic here and there, but it saves me probably 50-75% of the time it used to take, just from not having to hand-write all that code.

If you use it basically like you'd use an intern or junior dev, it could be useful.

You wouldn't allow them to check anything in themselves. You wouldn't trust anything they did without carefully reading it over. You'd have to expect that they'd occasionally completely misunderstand the request. You'd treat them as someone completely lacking in common sense.

If, with all those caveats, you can get this assistance for free or nearly free, it might be worth it. But, right now, all the AI companies are basically setting money on fire to try to drive demand. If people had to pay enough that the AI companies were able to break even, it might be so expensive it was no longer worth it.

I love how it fucks up closing braces/parentheses, some advanced tech right there.
