The closest facsimile I have in my work is occasionally running an Excel formula I've written through Copilot in order to find a formatting error or to help fix an Access query, but If fundamentally understand what I'm doing, can validate that the produced result is correct, and can fix it if I have to somewhere down the line. It's good you've found some simple ways to use it, but in the vast majority of work I do, it would take longer if I used AI because everything produced using an LLM has to be human-validated regardless, so I might as well not skip the important step of learning and understanding it. I never use it to ideate and never use it for anything that isn't eminently simple, like creating a sheet with x number of columns and rows or something like that. I hate the idea of the environmental impact and that helps me avoid it.
