Incredibly useful for 'glue code' or internal apps that are for automating really annoying processes - but where normally the time it would take to develop those tools would add up and take away from the core work.

For instance, dealing with files that don't quite work correctly between two 3D applications because of slightly different implementations. Ask for a python script to patch the files so that they work correctly – done almost instantly just by describing the problem.

Also for prototyping. Before you spend a month crafting a beautiful codebase, just get something standing up so you can evaluate whether it's worth spending time on – like, does the idea have legs?

90% of programming problems get solved with a rubber ducky – and this is another valuable area. Even if the AI isn't correct, often times just talking it through with an LLM will get you to see what the solution is.
