My use of ChatGPT has just organically gone down 90%. It's unable to do any sort of task of non-trivial complexity e.g. complex coding tasks, writing complex prose that conforms precisely to what's been asked etc. Also I hate the fact that it has to answer everything in bullet points, even when it's not needed, clearly rlhf-ed. At this point, my question types have become what you would ask a tool like perplexity.

Sure, but consider not using it for complex tasks. My productivity has skyrocketed with ChatGPT precisely because I don't use it for complex tasks, I use it to automate all of the trivial boilerplate stuff.

ChatGPT writes excellent API documentation and can also document snippets of code to explain what they do, it does 80% of the work for unit tests, it can fill in simple methods like getters/setters, initialize constructors, I've even had it write a script to perform some substantial code refactoring.

Use ChatGPT for grunt work and focus on the more advanced stuff yourself.
