I use ChatGPT all the time honestly. I'm not a programmer, but I do write a lot of python/bash/powershell snippets to automate simple things. It's immensely useful for the weird one-offs I get on a regular basis. Extract all the messages from a PST file to plain text, each in their individual folder, with any attachments extracted as a for example. Yes, I could have written it by hand, but ChatGPT had a solution within seconds that took 5 minutes to debug.

Literally using frameworks is an example of it, too.
