I’ve used it for basic coding stuff a few times, to great success. Nothing over a few dozen lines, but it’s great when you don’t want to bother looking up the specific functions and syntax for a particular language. For instance, you can have it write basic batch files for you. Then you simply double check it to make sure it’s accurate, (which is much easier than starting from scratch,) and you’re golden.
Don't forget they had to shut down its image generation because they had told it to include diversity no matter what the prompt was and that led to things like making the queen of England Indian or black founding fathers of America.
