No, it's very close to useless. This is exactly the kind of thing that experienced developers talk about when they warn that inexperienced developers using ChatGPT could easily be a disaster. It's the attempt to use a LLM as a crystal ball to retrieve any information they could possibly want - including things it literally couldn't know or good recommendations for which direction to take an architecture. I'm certain there will be people who do stuff exactly like this and will have 'unsolvable' performance issues because of it and massive amounts of useless work as ChatGPT loves suggesting rewrites to convert good code to certain OO patterns (which don't necessarily suit projects) as a response to being asked what it thinks a good solution to a minor issue might be.
