Yeah, I don't leverage LLMs much, but I have used it to look up APIs for writing vscode extensions. The code wasn't usable as-is, but it gave me an example that I could turn into working code - without looking up all of the individual api calls.

I've also used it in the past to look up windows api, since I haven't coded for windows in decades. (For the equivalent of pipe, fork, exec.) The generated code had a resource leak, which I recognized, but it was enough to get me going. I suspect stack overflow also had the answer to that one.

And for fun, I've had copilot generate a monad implementation for a parser type in my own made-up language (similar to Idris/Agda), and it got fairly close.
