I trialed GitHub Copilot and used ChatGPT for a bit, but recently I found myself using them less and less.

I've found them valuable when doing something new(at least to me), but for most of my day-to-day it seems to have lost it's luster.

I feel a similar way - I just use text generation AIs to find out new approaches or different ways to accomplish something.

My use case is primarily to list and briefly explain several pros/cons of an approach, which can provide a good starting point for further reading, or where to look in the docs.
