I ignore AI/ML tech just like I ignore a burgeoning JS framework because I fail to see practical uses in my daily work since I don't use them. I'm the software engineer type that likes solving business problems and don't see the value in things like writing a new programming language or a new compiler, etc. I'll wait for others to explore those research endeavors and for something to become more mainstream.

Can someone explain a TL;DR of practical uses in software engineering for ChatGPT? I'm not looking for explanations of what is possible or the potential, just actual use cases where it helped solve a business problem.

I recently asked it to generate a Python function, with type annotations, to query a vSphere server and return all the virtual machine objects using the PyVmomi library.

It returned a perfectly working function.

I recently asked it to generate a Gitlac CI file to format, plan, and apply a Terraform plan.

It also produced most of what I needed.

I think its going to end up being a solid replacement for using Google and Stack Overflow for many people.

I've used it to convert JS to TS by adding all the type annotations for me.

That’s cool.
