Why does it have to be all or none? Why can't it be incredibly incremental?

I've turned to ChatGPT to answer questions to things I don't know 2-3 times this week. I can only imagine where this technology is headed in the next 5 years.

However, you can make the argument that I knew "exactly" how to game it/what to ask because of my experience. I used what I know to ask specifically for what I don't know. :)
