To your first question, I am. And higher quality, not just quantity.

As far as code, it's admittedly not the main part of my job and not my biggest strength, so yeah I need the help. I ask it to solve small problems, not write the entire thing.

For my writing, most recently I used it to incorporate social pressure into membership emails (peer influence and social proof).

On your last point, my first job in politics was creating the MySpace theme for a party committee; I used to create stuff in Flash; most of the toolsets I've used for my work no longer exist. The list of useless skills I possess is endless and my useless skills are way above 90%. You just have to learn new stuff and it's fine.




Agreed, it's good in small chunks. Sometimes I'll feed it a prompt to generate new code to double check my approach is valid. Sometimes it's shown I am the better architect, other times it's made me aware of parts of an API that I did not know about. Ironically, it's helped me the most in writing recursive code.
