A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Not picking fights. Just curious.
Is this an improvement or a decline in your overall code programming success?
I am a hobbyist (and not very good) programmer, and while ChatGPT (free version) often gives me wrong answers, it still gives me some insight on how some stuff could be done (intentionally or not) or how something works and is actually somewhat helpful in learning stuff, but I guess this could be double-edged sword even in that regard.
It is also pretty good at detecting simple code errors, from what I have seen.
Overall more positive than negative, but I wouldn't recommend to use it blindly.
Huge improvement in work flow.
Don’t get it to write your code for you, it’s not gonna work 3/10 times. Instead use it to review your code, help remove any code smells for refactoring.
I don't use chatGPT, but work with colleagues who do. They're productivity visibly drops and half the time I gotta fix their shitty code.
