It's not always right but it saves me tonnes of time at work, usually when I want to do something simple in a language or environment I'm not totally familiar with.

It can reliably copy the simple things in it's training data from stackoverflow.

But at that point, why not just go to stackoverflow instead?

I'm not saying it's going to take anyone's job anytime soon but it's a lot quicker to get something tailor made for your problem than going to stack overflow. Everyone should use the tools that work for them but don't sleep on this stuff, like any tool it's really helpful once you know how to use it.

Agreed. But I think it is utterly useless if you aren't experienced enough to tell if it is bullshitting. Almost every time I have asked for a little adjustment, it just makes something up that looks good on first glance. My favorite is when it invents python libraries that magically handle all the difficult stuff. But man is it useful for my crappy little bash scripts or regex.
