Have you used so-called "AI" for actually productive work ? (sh.itjust.works)

With copilot included in Professional-grade Office 365 and some politician claiming that their government should use AI to be more efficient. I am curious on whether some of you did use "AI" to get some productive things done. Or if it's still mostly a toy for you.

I use it in two ways.

ChatGPT as an interactive search. Last one was about EU GDPR compliance checklist to give a quick answer on what areas need to be looked at. I use it like once a week for work.

Productive in othen ways I use it once a month for recipes. Recipes are probably my favourite since I can say "Write it using grams and ml" and "give me some options to replace eggs and it writes out a legit recipe based on these millions of annoying blogs recipes.

Jetbrains AI auto complete for programming which is getting better slowly and I'm getting the hang of using it. It's really good for cases where I have a common thing that I don't remember the syntax of and I just type a name of a variable like "cspHeaderValue" and it will format thing that's very annoying to look up based on what I some values I wrote above.

I'm not a 10x engineer now for it, it's more like +10% overall and really depends on the task. I can see it go up to around +50% but an AI plateau might come before then.
