I use them as "research assistants" when google or the documentation fails me. But I always treat it as a less reliable stackoverflow - there's no guarantee what I'm reading is correct and rarely includes caveats like "doesn't work before version X" or "must have Y flag enabled." I've particularly enjoyed converting terse documentation into a .md file and feeding into the LLMs context window, then using the LLM to "query" the underlying document. Where it's always fallen short for me is code generation, and frankly that feature just doesn't interest me.
