It is very helpful in providing highly specific "boilerplate" in languages/environments you are not very familiar with.

The text interface can also be useful for skipping across complex documentation and/or learning. Example: you can ask GPT-4 to "decode 0xdf 0xf8 0x44 0xd0 (thumb 2 assembly for arm cortex-m)" => this will tell you what instruction is encoded, what it does and even how to cajole your toolchain into providing that same information.

If you are an experienced developer already, with a clear goal and understanding, LLMs tend to be less helpful in my experience (the same way that a mentor you could ask random bullshit would be more useful to a junior than a senior dev)

or it will hallucinate something that's completely wrong but you won't notice it
