It often helps when you need to do something that you haven't done before. Letting ChatGPT show you the code - e.g. in another programming language b/c it's a script - and you learning from the correct code, makes development faster.

Outside learning, something you have done a hundred times already, ChatGPT doesn't help a lot.

So I guess the amount of ChatGPT helping depends on the ratio unknown-work/known-work.




> and you learning from the correct code

Yeah, except is it the correct code? I had answers with the correct code but also answers with code that looked correct but had no connection to what I wanted.
