You don't get the point.

I work in Deep Learning Research. I don't get any help at all from ChatGPT for my core job. Copilot spews gibberish, too.

I do get enough help about peripherals. Some weeks ago, I needed help with Flask and HTML deploying a model to show it to stakeholders. (I learned Flask some years ago, but not needing it regularly, I forgot enough.)

The data cleaning, preprocessing, model training, making it better than humans were the hard tasks.

Deploying a Flask app with a simple HTML frontend was the easy task. But easy != free. It would have required 2-3x more time researching how to do exactly what I needed, which I did with Copilot and ChatGPT in ~1 hr.
