I don't use it daily, and I find copilot counterproductive (for me). I do try to experiment with chatgpt when I remember to. I find it good for complex SQL, reviewing emails, and Godot assistance (I'm a beginner game Dev). There are also times when I have programming questions and I might try to use chatgpt, with mixed results. Our company has tried to integrate it into one of our products, and I find it troubling how on occassion it is confidently giving bad results, but my concern seems to be in the minority. EDIT: there was also a large refactor I did recently which involved lots of repeatable, but not super regexable, changes - chatgpt forgot where it was as I went through it, but other than working around that it was very useful.

In the last few days I discovered it's good at medium-complexity SQL, not at really more complex ones. I'm struggling like 4th day with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Deepseek. All could do some good analysis with some low-hanging fruit improvements, but all went completely crazy when trying to optimize more complex things, getting into loops proposing the same changes over and over, outputting invalid SQL, and gemini even forgot what we were doing, asking me if I could paste again the query i included in the very first message. Maybe the chain of thought models would handle this better, but I believe I hit the limit for the standard ones.

  Probably my complex SQL is your medium-complexity SQL. SQL is not a big part of my current project.
