FWIW, from my own experience, I used ChatGPT-4 way way more at launch. But the thing is, the way I used it for programming, it taught me SO much over the course of a few months. I'm still using those patterns, practices, and insights in my day to day work, I just don't need to interrogate ChatGPT as much anymore. I never really used it in a "Here's something I want you to write, go do it." I used it as a tutor and asked tons of questions, and in a way "pair-programmed" with it around a lot of concepts, asked an insane amount of questions, took it's code, rewrote it, feed it back, asked more questions. When I worked at Microsoft at 18, there was a legendary engineer who blocked off 1 or 2 90 minute sessions per week for me to just ask questions and for us to pair program. That was the most productive (with regards to skill development/ learning) period of my life. Nearly 15 years later, I think my April through June time with ChatGPT (and again, how I used it), leveled me up in a similar way. I don't really have a strong point to make, just that, for me, it levelled up certain edge skills like crazy, and I don't really need it as much anymore (...until I need to learn a new concept/ language/ whatever). It's wishful thinking, but, I'd like to imagine the decline is due to "AI" to human knowledge transfer
