I self taught myself how to code and have never been very good, I don't code often and when I do I spend a lot of time relearning some simple programming detail I forgot.

ChatGPT (also copilot) allows me to focus on the project that I'm working on and offload the stack overflow searches to prompting. I don't have to find a similar error someone else posted on SO and figure out how it applies to my current problem. I can keep a high level view of the project and not get bogged down with silly bugs, learning new libraries, or deciphering someone else's code.

I imagine there are a lot of people who are in a similar situation, it's crazy that we've just unleashed this massive productivity booster onto millions of people.
