This is about the only use case I found it helpful for - saving me time in research, not in coding.
I needed to compare compression ratios of a certain text in a language, and it actually came up with something nice and almost workable. It didn't compile but I forgot why now, I just remember it needing a small tweak. That saved me having to track down the libraries, their APIs, etc.
However, when it comes to actually doing data structures or logic, I find it quicker to just do it myself than to type out what I want to do, and double check its work.
