I use it for debugging all the time and while it making mistakes is not uncommon it's still way better than trying to manually search through spotty documentation.

It's also really great at doing basic automation tasks. Sometimes I'd write up throw away scripts to process some data, but with its code interpreter it can write those for me and for simple tasks I don't even need to check what it wrote since it's obvious when it did it correctly.
