ChatGPT is really good at answering specific questions. Just like asking a co-worker, it will do the best to its knowledge, but expect you to know how to integrate that knowledge.

It’s a very useful tool to see how to do something a different way, and sometimes it’s surprising and has some really good ideas!

The problem is people expect these tools to “just do it”, but that doesn’t work. You need to iterate—if it makes a mistake, nudge it in the right direction and you’ll find it knows how to intelligently adjust where it goes wrong.
