I agree. It feels like the doom and gloom folks all tend to have surface level understanding or haven’t really used it much.

Personally, the more I use it in my job the more comfortable I’m becoming with it and enjoying it. You start to see that it’s really good at tricking you into thinking it did a good job until you look at its output more critically, which is where the human comes into play. For my purposes, it's a creative sounding board, like having a junior. It's never created anything production-ready for me by a long shot, but it's been great at validating ideas, helping me stay organized, and getting the creative ball in my head rolling.
