I use it for work (C# programmer), and I find it useful. It won't invent new algorithms for you, or do math, but I find it useful for the following things:
* Coming up with design patterns given instructions on what I want to accomplish.
* Generating skeleton code.
* Code review up to a point (it's often wrong, but also give valid suggestions)
* Generating C# documentation comments for methods and classes.
* Generating in-code comments (i.e. //)
* API naming ideas (classes, methods)
* Giving me names of algorithms that I might never have heard of. For instance I wanted to partition some data evenly into buckets so I told me about the first fit decreasing algorithm, which was exactly what I needed for what I wanted to do.
