At our wor k they have a big push for everyone to use AI. I used AI to try to do things faster, it's terrible in it. The time you save with it in the beginning because it helps you rubberducking you and your peers lose at the end by finding out late that it bullshitted and contradicted itself and you copy and pasted it to be faster. I have so many examples of it.

I love PowerShell but I use it so infrequently that I’m constantly relearning the syntax.

If I need a quick script to scrape date from a system and update a runbook, asking ChatGPT to give me a PowerShell command that pipes the output to excel saves me hours.

For writing small simple functions in an unfamiliar language, it is an absolute godsend. Makes IT way easier.

For anything else it’s worthless.

There’s one other use case I love - i ask it to interview me or challenge me on my ideas. It can sometimes ask questions that cause me to rethink things. But in the end, I’m still the one doing the work. It’s my advanced rubber duck.
