The last time I asked ChatGPT to write a function that I needed, it was syntactically correct right off the bat. I thought that even if it had logical errors, it would be easier to fix them one by one. It seemed like a plausible approach to take when dealing with writer's block.

However, after spending about 20 minutes fixing the details, I realized that the core logic was missing. I had only wasted precious time that I could have spent figuring it out myself.
