>have incorporated chatgpt in my workflow Can I ask you to elaborate with a few examples?

  These days I’ve been writing a lot of concurrent / async rust and sometimes confused about the borrow semantics in various situations, especially when there is pinning, future closure, and macro interactions. I can ask it pretty loosely specified questions and it gives pretty good answers with clear examples. Sometimes it makes wrong assertions, like trait methods can be async, or it just makes stuff up (it told me there was a .wait on futures that block evaluates the future without the function being async, which is not true). But it’s largely right and very clear in its explanations to my direct question. Searching on Kagi gives me lots of results that might talk obliquely about my question, but if I take what I need more detail on than chatgpt can give me and search in Kagi I can find the actual facts faster by being guided by the chatgpt answer. Being able to interrogate along a path of questioning is a lot better than being given reference material that doesn’t address my area of confusion.
