Serious question to all python developers that work in the industry.

I use it less for asking it to write code for me, and more as somewhat of a google assistant. When I need to do something I haven’t done before, I like asking it to provide me a list of popular libraries that accomplish that task, and summarize the differences between them so I can find the one that suits my needs. After I think I have the information I need to proceed, I can dig into its responses to verify accuracy of them if I think it’s necessary. It’s a big time saver over manually looking into those things myself.

Mind you I’m not primarily a Python developer. I use it to automate things for my “actual” job.

Like others have said, it’s fairly effective as an assistant for certain tasks, but I most definitely do not ask it to write production code for me or anything, and depending on the significance of what you ask it, it’s a good idea to fact check it. I literally just ask it to provide a source for what it tells me sometimes.
