This is the main benefit I get from the free ChatGPT. I ask a question more related to syntax e.g. how to make a LINQ statement since I haven't been in C# for a few weeks and I forget. If it gets things a little wrong I can drill down until it works. It's also good for generic stuff done a million times like a basic API call with WebClient or similar.
We tested CoPilot for a bit but for whatever reason, it sometimes produced nice boilerplate but mostly just made one-line suggestions that were slower than just typing if I knew what I was doing. It was also strangely opinionated about what comments should say. In the end it felt like it added to my mental load by parsing and deciding to take or ignore suggestions so I turned it off. Typing is (and has been for a while) not the hard part of my job anyway.
