Uses include GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT, a paid tier at $20/month, and an example where the model produces a working Go link shortener ran with go run in one shot but remains basic. Infrastructure cost is eye‑watering at training run cost $65–$100M. Models boost productivity but cannot replace complex decision making or expert judgement.
