* Taking care of boilerplate work for people who know what they are doing (somewhat unreliably)
* Brainstorming ideas for people who know what they are doing
* Making people who don't quite know what they're doing look like they know what they're doing a little better (somewhat unreliably)

What happens when everyone gets to have a tireless army of very knowledgeable and AVERAGE common sense interns who have brains directly wired to various software tools, working 24/7 at 5X the speed? In the hands of a highly motivated rogue organization, this could be quite dangerous.
This is a bit beyond where we are now, but shouldn't we be prepared for this ahead of time?
The other use-case is generating command line invocations with the correct flags without having to look up any reference documentation. Usually I can recognize that the flags seem correct, even if I wouldn't have been able to remember them from the top of my head.
