You can call it a con all you want but I have personally extracted a lot of value from ChatGPT. It _really_ made a difference in launching in a product in record time for me. It also taught me a bunch of things I would have otherwise never discovered.

But go on calling it a con because it failed your arbitrary line in the sand question.

I'm not saying your experience isn't valid...but did launching this product have to deal with doing things outside your domain or dealing with technologies you are inexperienced with? I'm just hearing a lot of people making claims that make it sound generically useful, when it seems more plausible that it really shines when you are fumbling around and need help to get a handle on things.

What role did it play in the launch? And what things did it help you discover?

It’s rare for people that say that AI is amazing to give even a bit of details how it helped them. It’s always the same thing: It makes me faster and more productive, and I learned something faster than with anything else. But never any details on why and how.
