I use ChatGPT mostly for translation. It is amazing what it can do from Chinese to English. Sentences actually make sense and consider context.

What are the most popular usages for it? Homework?

Translation is a killer feature. All https//bitecode.dev is in english, but I'm French.

When I needed some complicated translation, deepl and google translate were rarely up to the task. They has about the same level of proficiency than me with auto-correct, sometimes less.

For single rare or technical words, I used Wikipedia a lot: you chose your topic in your language, you look for the article in English, and voila.

For slang and cultural references, urbandictionary.com is unmatched.

But for translating jokes or expressions, there is no good tool.

Until chatgpt. It also finds typo, suggest alternative, offer rhymes and synonymous. It does everything, in a single flexible interface.

Just for that it's worth the price.

Exactement, that Wikipedia trick is something I've done – and advocated – for years now.

I'm using it to write a browser based game engine.

The world doesn't need another game engine, and especially not by someone who has only technically written JavaScript professionally before, but there's some games that I wish existed on the browser, and one thing that world does need is for all the un-performant websites in the world to be embarrassed by the comparison.
