I use it as a software Developer but I’m not hiding it from my boss.
Mainly I use it generate me mock data, but also for helping me understand code blocks or if I want to sort some complex data and my head is baffled.
People seem to miss the point in that if I don’t understand software development then ChatGPT is of little help. With the sorting of data, it can give me 90% complete solutions but you have to know what you’re doing to debug it.
As long as it passes tests and CI, people will commit and push almost any kind of garbage it produces. I do the code reviews, and it turned into a circus after LLMs. People are extremely reluctant to fix "their code", because they don't understand it, and they also don't want to go back to basics and learn the fundamentals they were trying to skip by using the LLM in the first place.
I can't see anything positive about this development.
