I use it all the time at work, generative ai is very useful. I don't know vba coding but I was able to automate all my excel reports by using chatgpt to write me vba code to automate everything. I know sql and I'm a novice at it. Chatgpt can fix all the areas in weak at in SQL. I end up asking it about APIs and was able to integrate another source of data giving everyone in my department new and better reporting.

There are a lot of limitations and you have to ask it to fix a lot of the errors it creates but it's very helpful for someone like me who doesn't know programming but it can enable me to use programming to be more efficient.
