I'm not saying it's going to take anyone's job anytime soon but it's a lot quicker to get something tailor made for your problem than going to stack overflow. Everyone should use the tools that work for them but don't sleep on this stuff, like any tool it's really helpful once you know how to use it.

Agreed. But I think it is utterly useless if you aren't experienced enough to tell if it is bullshitting. Almost every time I have asked for a little adjustment, it just makes something up that looks good on first glance. My favorite is when it invents python libraries that magically handle all the difficult stuff. But man is it useful for my crappy little bash scripts or regex.

Absolutely true. I think regex might be one of my favourite uses to be honest. Both in writing them and explaining wth an existing one is doing.
