I get real value out of GPT-based models for software development. I've had ChatGPT answer questions about particular APIs I don't use often, and Copilot has made it faster to rapidly iterate on things because I don't have to type out boilerplate.

Early on I was pretty dismissive about both, and thought they were at best a crutch for junior engineers. But I've come to appreciate that they have the capacity to remember many more APIs and idioms than I do, so when I'm venturing outside of my usual languages/APIs, that's where they really provide value.
