I suck at graphic design so I get nanobanana to do that for me.
For simple bugs or creating testcases or easy to describe new features, Codex does it because it does a good job 85%+ of the time saving me a lot.

4.5 kind of changed everything.
I have and while it seems to be doing a decent job at things I’m bad at it is far from usable for the things i’m actually good at

Which is often a sign for something not being good at anything, only you not being good at assessing something you don’t have expertise in.
