Far from just programming too. They're useful for so many things. I use it for quickly coming up with shell scripts (or even complex piped commands (or if I'm being honest even simple commands since it's easier than skimming the man page)). But I also use it to bounce ideas off of when negotiating contracts. Or to give me a spoiler-free reminder of a plot point I'd forgotten in a book or TV series. Or to explain legal or taxation issues (which I of course verify, but it points me in the right direction). Or any number of other things. As the parent says, while far from perfect, they're an incredible aid in so many areas. When used well, they help you produce not just faster but also better results. The only trick really is that you need to treat it as a (very knowledgeable but overconfident) collaborator rather than an oracle.
