I find it most useful as a means of getting answers for stuff that have poor documentation. A couple weeks ago chatgpt gave me an answer whose keyword had no matches on Google at all. No idea where it took that from (probably some private codebase), but it worked.

Sometimes it’s nice to not use it though because it can feel distracting.

I’m glad you had some independent way to verify that it was correct. Because I’ve asked it stuff Google doesn’t know, and it just invents plausible but wrong answers.

truly who could have predicted that a glorified autocomplete program is best at performing autocompletion
seriously the world needs to stop calling it “AI”, it IS just autocomplete!
