Yeah I use it a lot for that sort of stuff, or working through a problem to understand something
better. It’s a really great assistant. And to analyze large datasets like it does in a matter of seconds is pretty astounding.  Previous Message
There are things it's just faster at than people. I think the best analog is that you can throw it a bunch of data, and ask it to look for something. Like... "bouncing an idea off someone" sorta assistant. One of our best devs was chasing down a problem with video processing on a specific processor we're using. We had some hunches on what it might be, so he was able to generate a bunch of data, throw it at AI, and have it come up with real actionable things. Huge time saver in that respect. I also find that it's really good at reading logs. Because AI doesn't get bored or crosseyed looking at tens of thousands of lines of logs, it can distil it down really quickly to places we might focus on. It still needs me to take that distilled data and really identify the issue, but it also culls the data down so I can focus.
