I have a boss who tells us weekly that everything we do should start with AI. Researching? Ask ChatGPT first. Writing an email or a document? Get ChatGPT to do it.

They send me documents they "put together" that are clearly ChatGPT generated, with no shame. They tell us that if we aren't doing these things, our careers will be dead. And their boss is bought in to AI just as much, and so on.

I feel like I am living in a nightmare.

I'm a consultant so I'm doing a lot of different things day to day. We use it to track meetings with the copilot facilitator and meeting recaps and next steps. It is pretty helpful in that regard and often matches the tasks I write for myself during the meeting.

I also have to support a wide arrange of different systems and I can't be an expert in all of them so it is helpful for generating short scripts and workflows if it is powershell one day, bash the next, exchange management etc. I do know powershell and bash scripting decently well and the scripts often need to be fixed but it is good at generating templates and starter scripts I flesh out as the need arises. At this point I've collected many of the useful ones I need in my repos and reuse them pretty often.

Lastly one of the companies I consult for uses machine learning to design medical implants and design and test novel materials and designs. That is pretty cool and I don't think they could do some of the stuff they're doing without machine learning. While still AI, it isn't really GPT style generative AI though, not sure if that is what you're asking.
