I'm using it effectively to generate code. It needs coaching, but it's faster than writing out boilerplate on my own. I'm using it in a language I'm unfamiliar with (C++) and it helps me resolve my mistakes as often as I have to fill in the blanks that it leaves. I'm giving it very specific instruction ("write a class that does this", "write a method that does this"), though often by describing what is required in terms of the complete use case, rather than the specific I/O. I haven't come up against any hallucination so far in this task - instead, it tends to leaves complex bits "as an exercise for the reader". I either code up those parts myself, or I just ask it for that specific method on it's own and dump it in. The process feels as if I'm interviewing a job candidate and stealing their code to put in production.
