My partner runs an ecommerce business and her team uses ChatGPT dozens of time a day.

Everything from writing emails to suppliers, correcting grammar, responding to customers, brainstorming new product ideas, explaining contracts etc.

Where as for me I can't find a use for it. Even as a coding assistant I find that I spent more time trying to understand/correct what it did than if I just wrote it myself.

The majority of my usage of ChatGPT as a dev has been to synthesize examples of APIs/tools/etc in usage when those aren't easy to find and/or when documentation is sparse/scarce.

I’m a software engineer and I use it everyday. I haven’t gone to StackOverflow in months. I use it like interactive documentation. I don’t even have to leave the terminal to use it as I have a cli tool called shell_gpt.

As a supplier, I would be furious if one of my partners was sending AI emails to me.
