It's not necessarily about getting help. For me, at least, it's about speed. It can look things up faster than I can. I can copy/paste/modify the results pretty quickly and every now and then it surprises me with a solution I hadn't thought of.

I gave it a try a few hours ago and it hallucinated a method with invalid syntax. Likely better with a more optimized prompt but definitely not what I expected.
However it was close, close enough that I could find the right method trough GitHub that I didn't find before.
Not bad, not amazing, but I see the potential
- Suggesting and writing YouTube shorts scripts about facts. However these turned out very sensationalised and less factual.
- I have a website with categories based on real world things. In the past I paid hundreds of dollars for mediocre short descriptions. With ChatGPT I paid $0.04 for good and long descriptions.
- I experimented with automated blog articles. It doesn't work for me because of their 'morals' but if you write boring articles about non controversial things without any opinions it works better than any (cheap) paid writer I had so far.
So far I haven't had a single coding issue I thought GPT could help me. I don't understand the buzz either.
