As long as you know which tasks it can be trusted with and/or it's work that you will be validating. I like using it for writing random code snippets because I need to test regardless who wrote the code. I don't know if it would write better or more secure code that a real dev but it's better than me.

Most people aren't going to think about this though and just take whatever it spews out as gospel. There needs to be more work to either validate results or know when to not present them as facts. Would you hire an assistant who often just made stuff up but sounded good?
