Yeah, I only started using it in August, and I had this realization when it was down a couple weeks ago. I found myself saying, "I guess I'll take the afternoon off and come back to figuring out this task tomorrow." Like I could have poured over documentation and figured out for myself how to implement the thing that I had in mind, like in the old days, but it would probably take me longer than just waiting for ChatGPT to come back up and do it for me. At least that's how I'm rationalizing it; maybe I've just become very lazy.
I mostly use it for writing and debugging small Bash and Python scripts, and creating tables and figures in LaTeX.
