I'm amazed by how divisive it is. I've also been using it to significantly increase my productivity, be that documenting things or having it mutate code via natural language or various other tasks. I feel that if you keep in mind that hallucination is something that can happen, then you can somewhat mitigate that by prompting it in certain ways. E.g. asking for unit tests to verify generated functions, among other things.

I find this tool so useful, that I scratch my head when I read about how dismissive some people are of it.
