9. I mostly use it for help with coding

I haven't found it especially useful for other stuff due to "hallucinations". At least with coding I can run the code to see if it works. But I try to use it more to guide if I'm stuck rather than asking for the exact code to help me learn because I learn little from copy/paste.

I am going to need it for work as we're planning on shifting a lot of our QA work to AI for things like writing test cases from requirements. It will have human oversight.
