Yeah I had a slightly similar experience as OP, though simpler. I asked it to automate a basic task, something I hadn't done before. I managed to do it with ChatGPT only, no other resources.

That said - ChatGPT did make mistakes, there were inconsistencies in its instructions, it didn't recognize certain bugs (I had to find them myself). _But_ there was something about the chat-based interaction that to an extent helped me preserve flow (maybe a bit like pair programming?).

I do think that if I had set my mind to it, I would have been faster solving the task with Google, and to some extent I went through this exercise just to test ChatGPT.

ChatGPT helped me close several business deals. I am now a mega millionaire thanks to ChatGPT! Before, I wasn’t able to find the basic info on how to close multi million dollar deals, and I tried all kinds of stuff. But ChatGPT helped me through that. On the calls - whenever I didn’t know what to say next, I would just read off what ChatGPT was responding to the customers, and to my surprise, it matched what they wanted to hear! And they started responding back and forth with it as if it was always in the plan! In the end, they didn’t exactly say “shut up and take my money”, but they did seem to express deep concern that I wouldn’t have availability for them, and essentially agreed to all the upsells very quickly.

I recommend ChatGPT to anyone who wants to close customers or save their marriage. Just say whatever ChatGPT is telling you… even if that means using one of the new “personal” beamed sound into your skull things. You’ll have superhuman ability to vibe with anyone and outcompete everyone who relies on just “their own experience”.

In the end it added, “no one will ever believe you” in all lowercase.
