In my experience, it's more helpful in some areas than others.
This year I used GPT-4 to write a significant amount of Terraform that was necessary to migrate an application onto AWS.
Writing Terraform, in my opinion, is problem that's broad but shallow. GPT-4 needed to do little beyond summarize documentation, but it was able to do so competently, and that was hugely valuable to me.
Conversely: In my free time, I've attempted to use it for a game-development side-project, and very little of its output has been useful at all.
