I try to use it as often as possible as a rubber duck. It feels sort of like pair programming with someone who has a pretty good idea of how most common libraries work, but where the details are fuzzy and a bit outdated.

The HR team uses it all the time to generate initial drafts for job descriptions and the like.

A member of the product team pointed our API documentation at it and asked it to write a simple query. 99% of the code was correct, except it used the wrong header for authentication. Lo and behold, that was something we hadn't documented very well!

We did an employee survey a few months ago on who was using AI tools and how, and I'm confident that usage has gone up significantly since then. I know mine has.

I use ChatGPT sometimes outside of work too, for hobby projects. I'm finding it much less useful for frontend work, partially because it's not a domain that I'm as familiar with and so the shortfalls in the code don't immediately stick out to me. It's good for writing specific things like "write a typescript function to connect to Google Sheets and write x data to a table"
