Chatgpt is really good at small throwaway scripts to accomplish some task that could have taken a good portion of the day to write up otherwise (almost always gets the code right on first try)



It can add usability features pretty well too. "Look at the variables in the script and add a feature to accept them as command line arguments and environment variables. Make the CONTENT variable mandatory."

They are also pretty good at software translations nowadays. You can give them a yaml file and they know what's a variable or placeholder and what's text to be translated.
