I just got a high priority request to write a couple of VBA macros to fetch data from a database then use it to make a bunch of API queries. I know VBA about as well as I know Chinese or Icelandic. I figured out the query and told Chat GPT to use it in a macro. It wrote all the VBA code. I went through a few rounds of "fix this bug, add this feature" and now my client is happy and I didn't have to think much about VBA. I knew what and how to ask it for what I wanted and it saved me days of searching google and reading about VBA. That's high value to me because I don't care about VBA and don't really want to know how to use it.
