Last week I needed to write a bash script that (among other things) parsed the text inside two square brackets that may or may not be in a given string. I rarely write bash or use regex, so it would probably have taken me 1/2 hr to an hour of Google searches like "how to reference capture group in regex bash".

ChatGPT did it for me in about 3 minutes. I was intrigued so I asked it to write Swift code to RSA256 encrypt and then decrypt a string. It did that in about 30s. I told my colleagues and someone joked "ask it to do my HealthKit integration haha". I did, and it did. Not perfectly, but instructively.

Yeah there is a lot of noisy hype around this, but for me it's already shown itself capable of massively improving my productivity.
