Just out of curiosity. I have no moral stance on it, if a tool works for you I’m definitely not judging anyone for using it. Do whatever you can to get your work done!

I’ve been using it a little to automate really stupid simple programming tasks. I’ve found it’s really bad at producing feasible code for anything beyond the grasp of a first-year CS student, but there’s an awful lot of dumb code that needs to be written and it’s certainly easier than doing it by hand.
As long as you’re very precise about what you want, you don’t expect too much, and you check its work, it’s a pretty useful tool.
I’ve found it useful for basically finding the example code for a 3rd party library. Basically a version of Stack Exchange that can be better or worse.
I essentially use it as interactive docs. As long as what you’re learning existed before 2021 it’s great.
Yeah sadly the times I’ve gotten screwed is when a major version change occurred in 2022. Got burned once doing that and now I know to check to see if we have upgraded past the version the code works before spending too much time working on it.
I, like most peaple, find it easier to write code than to read it. That “check its work” step means more work actually, for me
