- Doing searches that I know how to explain but don't have the right words for. - If it returns something not quite, it typically gives me clues of what terms to use to find what I need - Doing repetitive coding tasks - It used to be much better about these but now, like others have said, it has gotten 'lazy' and tells you to fill in the rest - For instance, having an API doc and an example method for how to integrate it, having it write out the rest - One-off coding tasks that are simplistic and not fun to write - "Take this format of CSV and transform it in X way then write out to JSON" - Rubberducking - If I have been banging my head against a wall, I'll explain to GPT what I am doing and it gives me suggestions for what to do in a numerical list, I'll run down them and then say something like "For #1, I got X, I think it might be Z. Can you dig a bit deeper on what you meant". I'd say that it steps me into a solution about 60 - 70% of the time and worst case, typically gets me going in a different direction --- My suggestion if you want to keep going down this exploration is to not treat GPT as a co-worker but more of an encyclopedic intern. Don't give it complex open-ended tasks. Don't make it think too much. You have to spoonfeed it what you know and what you need from it. You might be giving it too broad or complex of a task for it to be useful. I've never tested it without but wrap code in triple backticks to make it very clear that it is code. I even triple quote API docs or any external document I am giving it. I think the people who think GPT is worthless just don't want to learn how to deal with it. Personally I think that is a parallel with people who refuse(d) to learn how to use Google and prefer(red) manually looking through books for the answer. Also just as cover-my-ass to anyone reading it: I follow the protocol of if you wouldn't post it to StackOverflow, you shouldn't send it to GPT.
