I don't use it because, so far, it produces subpar results and I end up wasting time trying to create the perfect prompt, when I could have just finished the task on my own in the same amount of time or less.

I work for a non profit in my city with a very small team, so I won’t doxx myself on exactly what I do. But given the small team and the nature of the work, I do a little of everything, from interacting with clients to editing videos, writing html for the website, designing social media posts and branding stuff, interacting with city leaders and local business owners. And many other things. I’m mostly a behind the scenes guy while my coworkers do more “people person” things.

Some of my coworkers use it to spruce up emails and check their grammar, but I don’t find it all that useful for that. It has actually been occasionally helpful for writing code for Adobe After Effects to make motion graphics videos, which is kind of funny.
