    Yeah for generating prose, not for solving technical problems.

      not for solving technical problems

      One example is writing complex regex. A simple well written prompt can get you 90% the way there. It’s a huge time saver.

      for generating prose

      It’s great a writing boilerplate code so I can spend more of my time architecturing solutions instead of typing.
