I use it for coding advice sometimes, as an amateur hobbyist it's really useful to point me in the right direction when facing problems I'm unfamiliar with. I often end up reinventing the proverbial wheel, just worse, but LLMs can help point out standards and best practices that I, as an outsider to the industry, am unaware of.

    You have to be careful at low skill/knowledge levels, because it'll happily send you down a crazy path that looks legitimate.

    I asked it how to do something in oracle SQL, because I don't know oracle specifically, and it gave me a terrible answer. I suspected it wasn't right so I asked a coworker who's an old hand at Oracle, and he was like "no that's terrible. Here's a much simpler way"
