There's a lot of annoying stuff it can do fairly well without many guardrails. It's a minor productivity boost but it's nice not to have to do.

Doc comments for example. Today I had it generate doc comments for a class I wrote. I had to go and fix every single one of them because it did some dumb shit, but it out all the scaffolding in place and got the basics there so it was a lot quicker.

I also used it to generate json schemas from Python a couple of Python classes the other day. Highly structured inputs, highly structured output, so there wasn't much for it to fuck up. Took care of the annoying busy work I didn't want to do (not that schemas are busy work, but this particular case was).

Still haven't seen a use case that justifies the massive cost, or all the blatant theft and copy right infringement, or the damage to the environment...
