I feel the same way, down to the "weird other world" feeling. AI has infinite patience, which means that you can ask and refine intricate questions. You can't always trust their answers, but you can't do that with people either. My favorite use for it is rubber ducky 2.0.

It is surprisingly good at rubber ducking and also that phase of code review which is more of a sanity check than a full review. I also like using it to build an index of source code in a new (to me) project. It is a tool and, like all tools, has things it’s better and worse at.
Except that due to a bias toward agreeability what actually happens is that it will subtly affirm all of your preconceived notions.
