Yeah I was skeptical with GPT when it first came out last year. I've been coding for donkeys years too. But the first time I asked it for ideas to accomplish some task that would probably require some programming, it gave me a solution that I would never have considered because I was completely ignorant that such a thing exists. The initial code it generated was crap, but there was enough there to give me a good idea of how it works, so I just had to break it down to smaller parts and fiddle around with the prompts I fed it, and I was able to complete a custom tool to run the task in a couple of hours. It would have taken me two days of Googling with dozens of open tabs to stack overflow to just figure my first step.
