    Honest question: what do people actually use this for?

    My wife is on a course to learn (just enough) excel fancy tricks to do her job better. We all hate it. There was a formula misbehaving, and I described the error to a ChatGPT window. The window returned some recommendations to look at, and one of them was correct.

    I use it to write ansible for me, since I never want to get good at it and I never want to do it beyond paid work. I would take up a serious pot habit if I could be assured of destroying only the brain cells that record my memory of doing ansible. I write my config management with tools that are decades more advanced, and those I want to learn and retain.
