Do chatgpt or other language models help you code more efficiently and faster? Is it worth spending your money for it?

It's a decent general purpose data formatter (like "convert this giant json to yaml") but there are other ways to do that.

It's ok at being able to ask questions of documentation, as long as you don't take anything at face value. Really if you understand 90% of something its not bad at giving you the missing 10%. And it makes me a bit faster when I go back to bash, the anti-bicycle, after a break.

And I find myself not writing as many IDE snippets because AI is good at super repetitive stuff like, "wrap this promise in an async function." That's not the best example but it's what I could think of quickly.
