Not what you asked, but here are my 2 cents:

I'm using more For DBA related things, complex queries aren't 
great, in fact they use to be slow than hand written ones. But 
for other things like solving the problems like what is hanging 
our database with multi scripts it's fairly nice.

But one thing that I think it's good and make our life easier is 
writing test cases, at least we don't need to sit and write 
boring stuff.

Another thing that I tried was porting some code to another 
language, I use this C-script like language which the AI wasn't 
too much aware, I send the manual with all the restrictions and 
asked to port some code to that language following its manual.

I must say that after a couple of minutes it generated a running 
version. Of course it wasn't very bright one I saw things to fix 
or optimize, but in general the hard work was done. Interesting 
that a year ago some AI I tried couldn't do what I just mentioned.
