Just out of curiosity. I have no moral stance on it, if a tool works for you I'm definitely not judging anyone for using it. Do whatever you can to get your work done!

Yeah I use it, but only as a rubber duckie. I never put in code unless I understand what it's doing, and most of the time I'm just using it as a sounding board. Since it never returns the right code on the first try anyways haha

It's great at directing and narrowing your search, and when it knows, it does a great job. Problem is when it doesn't know it just makes shit up. I was using it earlier today to debug some error messages and it just came up with some non existent cli parameters. You still need to know what you're doing and test everything first.
