Yeah it's obviously useless for anyone doing advanced programming work. I'm writing compilers (for AI models of all things), and it's just not there. It has some amazing wins. I have fed it a description of ISAs for proprietary chips and had it generate correct kernels, and such. That is impressive, and it's very useful for references for quick tutorials on common enough things (but do check the docs). However, it's not able to do abstract thinking really yet. On the other hand? If I want to add payments to my web app (not a web dev, but I mess around with side projects for fun), and I don't want to read the stripe library docs for example, it's pretty good at getting me started installing the right library, and generating the boiler plate. Same with various boilerplate for code generation. On the other hand, ChatGPT (which has been clearly trained on stuff I've read) has an uncanny ability to describe my esoteric side projects much better than I can, so there is that. I have some DSLs written in Haskell and it's actually really good at providing answers with it, and explaining things succinctly.
