There are different use-cases I'm using it with. Sometimes I can write the code, but I just think it's too tedious and AI can do it faster than me. For example I can write `jq` incantations, but it takes some time and man digging, so for non-trivial cases I can easily spend hour tinkering with it. ChatGPT often do it in one minute and does it correctly. So in this case I can perfectly evaluate the result. Although I've recently started to avoid this kind of usage, because I feel it makes me dumber and my salary is not increased for the time saved, so I don't really have an incentive to work slightly faster at the expense of my mental abilities. Sometimes I'm using it as a Google replacement. Now this is controversial usage and I certainly can't quickly evaluate if he did a good job. I'm usually inspecting list of "Sources" and double-checking the most important facts. If I feel it missed important sources, I'm going to search myself. Sometimes I just need an opinion. I work mostly alone and I don't have anyone to talk to. Also I have some mental issues, where I can stuck on very simple issue, like identifier naming and procrastinate over it for a prolonged time. AI had been a saviour for me, because he can present another opinion which I could just follow and move on (because it doesn't really matter, which identifier name to use). So for this case, there's no "right" or "wrong" answer, I just need "some" answer. I could even use RNG but actually ChatGPT makes me feel better by following seemingly reasonable suggestions. Often I write code and submit it to ChatGPT for review. It spots a lot of irrelevant issues, or issues I don't really care about. However sometimes it finds a bugs, so it helps me a lot by uncovering bugs early. In this case, verification is obvious, I know when the bug is bug.
