Yeah, I'm staring at my use of chatgpt to write a 50 line python program that connected to a local sqlite db and ran a query; for each element returned, made an api call or ran a query against a remote postgres db; depending on the results of that api call, made another api call; saved the results to a file; and presented results in a table.

Chatgpt generated the entirety of the above w/ me tweaking one line of code and putting creds in. I could have written all of the above, but it probably would have taken 20-30 minutes. With chatgpt I banged it out in under a minute, helped a colleague out, and went on my way.

Chatgpt absolutely is a real advancement. Before they released gpt4, there was no tech in the world that could do what it did.
