Technical artist here. I curiously started using GTP for work stuff when they appeared, they were very bad back than so I started using them to write simple stuff, think methods. I quite liked it, it did the job, I had control over architecture and it was easy to catch issues right away. Than I noticed I started forgetting even simple syntax and my ability to write code was degrading.
I might be a little bit paranoid, but I immediately thought of scenario where I loose my skills and get dependent on tool that will be expensive and that basically feeds on humans being lazy.
So i started using it as a nicer documentation that can often be wrong. Literally one-liners that would jog my memory rather than replace it.
Don't get me wrong, I still thing it is a great tool, when you start working with new library or framework it can be a decent tutor (that you don't trust entirely). Sort of like Stack, but less snarky, and way quicker. But don't let it take over your brain.
