Yes, this is how I use AI.

Indeed, self-invented abstractions are a bridge too far for AI.

You have to keep it close to the path already walked before by thousands of developers.

This makes AI more of a search engine on steroids than anything else.

ChatGPT is literally just a search engine that Google shouldve moved to, but waited because they didnt want to touch their assets in place.

I agree that Google were too slow to move, but entirely disagree with the first part. ChatGPT is very much not a "search engine". Arguably it is an "Answer engine", but more so, it is a conversational partner - I almost never use ChatGPT to just get one response; the real benefit is being able to follow up with it until I'm satisfied. It's an entirely different medium of interaction as compared to search engines.

GPT is orders of magnitude more expensive to run, though.
