It’s much better than novelty if you learn how to use it. I routinely use it to write scripts for Google apps scripts, bash, etc. I’m using it to help with rust libraries that don’t have much documentation. I’ve used it to research camera gear that I don’t know much about. And once you get some information from it you can then go Google. Google has gotten so bad lately that it’s not hard for ChatGPT to beat it though. If you’re using 3.5 I highly recommend stopping that nonsense though. There’s zero reason to use 3.5 and every reason to use 4.
