To me GPT-4 has been very valuable when I already know the gist of what I need done, as in: I've done it before, I know the techniques and the right keywords I need, I know the tools I'll use, etc. but can't remember exactly the right incantation and would need to go read references, search Google, and so on.

Instead I pop by ChatGPT and ask it what I need done, the tools I'm using and let it write me an answer that I double-check to see if it matches what I'm looking for. It's definitely saved me a lot of time, I still go read the documentation but I have a much narrower point to start from.

I would never just copy-paste whatever it spits out, I don't trust it to generate code nor will I ever trust it to be fed with intellectual property in the prompt (mine or my employer's) but as a general assist for techniques and tools that I've been familiar with, and which could require some researching I do think it has pretty good value.
