Used it recently to try and diagnose a weird networking issue on a server. It got me pretty far, but then the only next steps it could suggest involved installing some software that wasn't pre-installed. I don't like modifying prod servers by hand, especially because we do the whole infrastructure-as-code thing.
So I pinged a more senior engineer, they solved it. I asked what they did. They did exactly what GPT-4 had suggested for me to do. (Don't worry we ended up fixing it "properly" afterwards and re-launched the instance). I'm still not going to trust it when it tells me to do something I don't understand on a prod instance, but that was fun to see.
