The thing is, in some fields like devops, there are so many tools that you can't remember or know all of them very well. So asking chatgpt how to do something saves very much time. It can write ansible playbooks, docker files, web server configurations etc etc. They almost never work perfectly but they give a very good starting point to modify.

It used to be that you could be very good at specific languages or tools but today, there isn't enough time. Everyone is always in a hurry to get something out as quickly as possible too.
