> I haven't. Because (free, as in free beer) chatGPT is extremely slow, I have to make a rather extensive proompt to get the result I want to, and then I still have to debug most code.
That's because you are comparing asking ChatGPT to write full code to searching for a question on Stack Overflow and adapting their answer (which is comparing apples and oranges).
Try using ChatGPT like you use Stack Overflow instead (i.e. the question is "How would I record an audio stream to disk in Python" rather than "write me an application / function which...").
As an aside, try "How would I record an audio stream to disk in Python"" in both GPT4 and searching for an answer on Stack Overflow and see what has the better answer! (Clue: GPT4, and if you don't like GPT4's answer just ask it to clarify/change it)

That's my point though. I get, that it can produce quite good results, if you are specific enough. And for some applications it makes sense to take your time and describe that as much as possible.
Most of the time I just need some small snippet though and usually I can get that with just a few keywords in my favorite search engine, which is way faster. So the conclusion is: There is no one or the other. They should be used complementary, or atleast that's what I am doing (as in use the search engine for quick hints and chatGPT for some more verbose stuff 'write me a parser for this csv in awk'.)
Personally ChatGPT generally gives me a quicker, better, simpler and ad-free result for the snippet (At least with GPT4).
Plus I can ask follow-up questions in a context-driven way ("Can I do this without importing a library?").
I'm aware that different people will have different feelings on this though and personal tastes will differ, but while search engines stagnate I suspect the needle will continue to shift towards AI.
