I find it to be suprisingly usless compared to classic aproach.
But in my case it might be beacuse of the language i work with ( abap ).
It's not the language. ChatGPT is about as useful as a decent code manual. It won't actually solve any problems for you, but it can show you the general format for doing so.
And it's great for boilerplate heavy stuff or writing tests.
Yeah I've used it for boiler plate stuff for things I've not done before, but I always then read about what it did and make sure I understand it and where to look further.
The manual is usually not wrong.
Have you read Microsoft manuals?
Ok, I'll use the "usually" wildcard to absorb this one.
Odds are that ChatGPT can help you better with C# than the documentation. It's also easier to navigate because you only need to know the answer before being able to make a good question, while merely knowing the answer and having a search engine won't help you find the right Microsoft doc.
The docs for C# are stellar imo
You talk about their location?
Sometimes whatever you are working with will have outdated or really poor docs, so an advanced internet info aggregator is useful in that sense.
I started learning nix before chatgpt and it was a nightmare. I had to continually ask for help on discord, of all places, for things that should really be in the docs.
Chatgpt makes nix easier, except not really because it's info is outdated a lot of the time.
