## Overview

I understand very generally that AI is good at "writing code" but I'm wondering what specifically normal people would need the capability to write code for in their daily lives? Unless they work in an industry that relies on coding in which case it's self explanatory. I personally just use chatgpt for general conversation and talking about life.   submitted by   /u/TangoENG [link]   [comments]
