Asking GPT to do a task for me currently feels like asking a talented junior to do so. I have to be very specific about exactly what it is I'm looking for, and maybe nudge it in the right direction a couple of times, but it will generally come up with a decent answer without me having to sink a bunch of time into the problem.

If I'm honest though I'm most likely to use it for boring rote work I can't really be bothered with myself - the other day I fed it the body of a Python method, and an example of another unit test from the application's test suite, then asked it to write me unit tests for the method. GPT got that right on the first attempt.
