I have to say ChatGPT has turned a lot of micro-obstacles into problems that only last a couple of seconds. Stuff like "what's the command to turn a folder of pngs into a video" I can Just Do in seconds with a zsh alias set up to query it from the terminal.
Then there's stuff like "I don't understand this error message, give me pointers?" and it can be quite useful in that regard too. I still validate but I guess long term I can stay in flow way more consistently.
The biggest objection I hear to chatgpt as an assistant is that "you can't know if it gives you a truthful statement." That's true but it's also nowhere near a show-stopper. Just requires critical thinking in each scenario. People who don't use it have a tendency towards black-and-white thinking about its utility. I find that people who are skeptical of it initially who observe my workflow tend to 'get' what it's really useful for, after a short while.
