I did exactly this. I'm doing some frontend work where I only have basic knowledge and there was a small feature that was a nice to have. When I originally wrote my own solution, it didn't work. So I took my failed solution and out it into Chat GPT and went back and fourth a few times. It also didn't provide solutions that worked after trying them. So I started asking about alternative solutions and eventually that sparked a new idea I could ask about. That ended up working.
Probably a 5 min conversation with a frontend dev would have gotten me that answer faster, but that isn't something I have access to at the moment. And it was far enough down my priority list that it probably would have stayed unimplemented for a long time. With the back and forth with ChatGPT I got there in maybe 30 minutes of playing around. So a direct solution - for sure not. But better than my alternatives, I think so.
