    Student programmers are the only group I've seen that seem to consider it useful. It's useless in plant science without the rigid sourcing that academic/STEM work requires. Everything it says is a surface-level formulaic response which is clearly mixed together from a dozen unreliable blogs/reddit posts/random articles. It's just having a clueless coworker that googles things for me, but I still have to type in the same prompt I'd google and read an untrustworthy answer of similar length to a good one.

    I find them useful for getting over that initial hurdle of writing documents. I can just write down bullet points, tell ChatGPT to turn it into text, and then revise almost all of what it writes because I don't like the style and it misinterpreted a bullet point or two. I find that a lot easier than writing from scratch.
