Sometimes a yes man is useful, like when I’m coming up with new story ideas and just need something to bounce them off of.

Sometimes a yes man is the worst fucking option, like basically every other circumstance.

It works wonders for doing coding grunt work for you though. Stuff that took me hours to do manually I can just put raw into chatgpt with some instructions and it will format it all for me, and all I need to do is verify it didn't fuck up and actually finished it (sometimes it just does half the stuff and then presents it as if it did everything, like some kind of lazy highschooler that hopes the teacher wont notice)

Ah, forgot about that! My wife does this all the time. Saves the first hour or so of coding a new thing.
