Yes, it's extremely powerful. For example I recently had an idea for a script to merge cbz files into a single document so I wouldn't have to clutter my ereader with many individual chapters. The LLM had almost no issue writing the whole thing with only one revision, spent less time and thought on that than I did googling around to see if there were existing solutions. It's really nice being able to create programs like that just on the high level concept and without mentally getting into the weeds of implementation details. If I wrote it myself I would have had to refresh my memory on stuff like regex and sorting syntax and it would have been way more time and effort. It basically lets me write custom scripts for any trivial problem where they could be useful where otherwise it might be too much trouble.
