I use ChatGPT for a wide variety of tasks throughout my day, but my favorite use case is generating one-off utilities quickly. A recent example of this was when I needed to move and reorganize approximately 1 million files from one hard drive to another over a six-week period. Unfortunately, the destination hard drive began to malfunction – I could access metadata, but file transfers to and from the drive would fail almost immediately.

With ChatGPT's assistance, I was able to create a utility that scanned the 1 million+ files on the faulty destination drive and then re-copied those files from the original source drive to a new destination drive, all while maintaining the updated directory and file structure.
