I use it constantly for brainstorming ideas and thinking out loud. Very rough first drafts of essays, stuff like that.
Basically whenever I just want to get my thoughts out and I'll be the only person reading it, so I don't worry about typos because I can always figure out what I meant.
It's a godsend in terms of speed. I type fast but my brain still goes faster. But I definitely speak faster than I can think.
It only works privately in an office or at home though, obviously. Not helpful on the subway.
My partner uses it constantly while driving. It's illegal to use a phone while driving, and we have cameras everywhere that will catch you if you have it in your hand and smack you with a near $500 fine and points on your license. So dictation is extremely common.
