Just out of curiosity. I have no moral stance on it, if a tool works for you I'm definitely not judging anyone for using it. Do whatever you can to get your work done!

Only used it a couple of times for work when researching some broad topics like data governance concepts.

It’s a good tool for learning because you can ask it about a subject and then ask it to explain the subject “as a metaphor to improve comprehension” and it does a pretty good job. Just make sure you use some outside resources to ensure you’e not being hallucinated all over.

My bosses use it to write their emails (ESL).

ESL is actually a great use, although there's a risk someone might not catch a hallucination/weird tone issue. Still it would be really helpful there.

Best used in tandem with something like languagetool.org for the final revision.

yeah my biggest use case it quick summaries of things. it's great getting a few bullet points, and i miss details a lot less.
