I personally find value because it saves me time. I’ll ask chat-gpt to write something slightly more complex than boilerplate code for me based on some requirements. Because I’m an “expert” I can read/run the code and message back improvements and tweaks until to arrives at something satisfactory. It certainly doesn’t always produce correct code from the start and I often encounter syntax errors or code which doesn’t work. However, I’ve found it pretty good at remedying those issues when I describe what’s wrong.

It produces something which is a good enough starting place. Sure, I could have written the code myself because I already know how. But I’ve found it saves me time and require minimal effort.
