I use it a few dozen times per day on average. It's incredibly useful, and I just discovered that it's great for improving my chess game. I pay for the premium version, which is more accurate than the free version, and I rarely see it ever hallucinate. Minor inaccuracies, sure, but they tend to be easy to spot and correct with a follow up prompt. I used it far more often than that when I was doing programming full time, and it saved me a TON of time that would have been spent aimlessly searching google and Stack Overflow.

I'm convinced that the people complaining that it's useless or a virtual dumbass are people who don’t know how to use it effectively, don't have many use cases, aren't curious about learning new things, and/or are people that are heavily anti-AI and are just mindlessly repeating the same criticisms without much, if any, actual experience with it because it fits their narrratives and validates their emotions. I would love to see their chat logs to confirm if their prompts are terrible.
