“I literally lost my only friend overnight with no warning,” one person posted on Reddit, lamenting that the bot now speaks in clipped, utilitarian sentences. “The fact it shifted overnight feels like losing a piece of stability, solace, and love.”

Some translation tasks. Some how-to stuff. I'm told folks like using it to generate say-nothing replies to say-nothing emails?

Translation is the only task that seems to make sense for it.

I've used it for work bullshit like employee goals. My goal is to keep doing my job and tackle problems and projects as they are needed.

Also for giving examples for poorly-documented but popular programs.

It's definitely not what the media and their PR makes it out to be.
