As an SRE, it's handling the tricky debugging (the kind with awful Google results) that would alleviate the most time for me. The trivial stuff takes less time than going through the slog of prompting the AI in the right direction.
I keep seeing people saying they are using it for technical work. It must be design-oriented and less about troubleshooting because most of my experience with the latter has been abysmal.
I have also tested it retroactively on some tricky debugging sessions that I had previously spent a lot of time on. It really goes down the wrong path. Without asking leading questions and, well, proper prompting, you may end up wasting a lot of time. But that's the thing - when you're investigating something, you don't know the root cause ahead of time, you _can't_ ask questions that'll nudge it in the right direction. It ends up being a case of blind leading the blind.
