I'm surprised with this response. I myself have found it extremely useful and ChatGPT has saved me tons of time with programming and non-programming tasks.

This is so general obviously it's not true. It's providing lots of value to lots of people. To me this sounds like someone with the goal of confirming their own biases.
What's my bias ? I want this to work - I want to expend less effort to do my job - so far the problems where ChatGPT would fit in the workflow it's taken me more time to fact check the plausible bullshit it generates than doing it the old fashioned way.
Copilot is way better at generating boilerplate.
The one task I did find it useful was converting model types to open API spec - out of trying to use it for a month.
It might be worth considering, for those that GPT is helping a lot, what are you using it for? And for those that GPT is not helping, what are you trying to do with it?
"Programming" is a pretty broad activity description. I can readily imagine that AI tools, trained on publicly-available data, would be more helpful with, say, Wordpress plugins than with flight control systems.
