It's great at little tedious tasks, as long as you review its work.

Like converting a code sample from one language to another, or one format to another (e.g. raw css to object syntax), or complex replaces where the regex gets tricky- also great at writing simple docs.

Also use it for micro tutorials if it's on a topic older than a couple years old.

Or converting unstructured (or semi-structured) text to structured format. My most recent example with GPT 3.5: copy-pasting a piece of a website with a list of dates and events, and prepending it with "Please rewrite it into ICAL format".

The result I then could paste into a text editor, save as .ical, and import straight to my calendar.
