ChatGPT is absolutely wonderful at the mundane. I tried to get it solve a complex problem and it failed miserably but it did produce all the boilerplate around the problem that was perfectly usable. I sort of a fear a future where the sheer volume of code has increased dramatically because people are pasting code from AI rather than re-using functions and libraries. I've already used it to generate SQL code that was too long to do correctly by hand. Usually I find that a sign of a code smell and I should look for an entirely different solution but it worked and I didn't have to write it. Ironically even ChatGPT thought the output was too long and had to be coaxed into giving me the whole thing.
