Documentation of old undocumented code bases. Feed in the functions, with a little context, and it works surprisingly well.

As any coding AI should. GPT allows me to add some detailed context, with some chain of thought back and forth, to make sure the comments are "on topic". I can give more detailed instructions, especially about things like type hints, and when they should be avoided.
