For me it automates the low level stuff so I can focus on other things.

"Given this json blob what is the typescript type?" "Given this type, make a function that loops over X and makes a map of Y?"

Or I use it to write code in languages I'm not familiar with. Heck I even used it to make some github actions cause I severely dislike yaml.

It did hallucinate a bit on the github actions (especially since it didn't know the latest api), but it put me on the right track. So I don't know, I think it enables me to do work in areas I normally wouldn't, like Java. It isn't always right, but it helps me immediately test ideas / iterate.

I think of it like reference I can ask questions without getting sass or having to worry about some toxic coworker wondering why I don't just know "x". It's not always right, but neither are my coworkers / humans. So I guess, treat it like a human aka fallible?
