ChatGPT is not Google, but sometimes it can work as a glorified search engine or even compete with asking in forums.

I've lost count of how many times ChatGPT has produced Bash or Python code for what I needed. Yes, sometimes the code is wrong and/or requires tweaking and sometimes I resorted to look into the documentation, but no one will answer faster and anytime of the day like ChatGPT does, at least not for free.

It's a tool to aid in creating a product, not a tool that magics out a finished product. That's my point. Too many people use it as the latter instead of the former.

100% agree.

Maybe, with lots of training, weaking and testing the latter could be achieved, but that's it.
