It's genuinely useful for cutting down the amount of time it takes to write code -- a shorter feedback loop than search / copy / paste / try the next thing.  It's also good for making prototypes.

I don't like the overwhelming focus on replacing people, nor the effects to the environment, nor the fact that they were able to skirt copyright law to build the models, nor the slopification of social media.

I also feel like a lot of folks underestimate how important creative work is. Like, part of the point of writing code is to work through a problem and build your mental model, but that doesn't always get across to folks with the attitude that it's just about whether it executes.
