Honestly, I suspect the industry I'm in (System Software/Driver Development) is a poor fit for the current state of "AI Assistants" - there's too much specific that's just not got the depth of training data to "learn" from, it's a mature system so not much "boilerplate" needs to be generated, and much of the real complexity is managing the state of the hardware interface and expectations from a constantly-changing documented-mostly-in-some-hardware-engineer's-head-only specification. Or time debugging why the stated specification doesn't actually match the behavior of the hardware.

I don't think anyone in our group who was asked to trial it had much positive to say about it in that situation.
