      I work in software development, and AI can generate instantly some code that would take me an hour to research how to write when I’m using an SDK I’m unfamiliar with, or it can very easily find little mistakes that would take me a long time to figure out. If I have to copy and paste a lot of data and have to do boring repetitive work like create constants from it, it can do all of it for me if I give it an explanation of what I want.

      It makes me gain a lot of time, and spare me a lot of mental fatigue so I have more energy to do things that I enjoy after work.

        It’s really useful to use a library / language you’re not very familiar with. I’ve used it recently to learn how to use minizinc, a constraint problem modeling language. There’s not a lot data of it on the Internet, and for that reason, sometimes the generated code won’t even be sintatically correct, but even then it was extremely useful to learn the language
