Use it for non coding busy work. At my job we rely fully on AI commit messages, and pr descriptions. We can also automatically generate GitHub issues based off the context of a helpdesk ticket. Less clerical busy work is a nice win

Those aren't clerical busywork, they're important technical writing.

Yeah - that's the thing. I've seen enough hallucinations or other errors to need to carefully check the output from every prompt. If I need to check it thoroughly, then I suppose I could treat it as a fancy autocorrect? But then the productivity gain is much more marginal.

If the accuracy didn't matter, then what's the point of doing the work in the first place?
