Sometimes I don't really know what exactly to type into google because its only something rough in my head. It then takes like multiple try&research iterations on the topic I have in mind until being able to formulate the actual question, at least if I wasn't derailed in the process (monkey brain). A Chatbot is a godsend for me here and I will happily pay money for that alone.
Another point is that I am either creative or productive at a time, but never both... at least aware of which state I am in. ChatGPT has proven to take over the other part surprisingly good. ie:
- when I am in a productive mood and stumble upon a thinking problem, generative AI is like on-the-spot creativity for "good enough" solutions, like naming a programming thingy or write some filler text around a few keywords instead of me looking for words.
- when I am in a creative mindset, I increasingly feed some code snippets into the bot and ask some questions to "fill in the gaps", like writing a specific function using library X, then to write a documentation explaining how it works, then to also write some unittests, and sometimes I even derail a bit or let the bot explain parts that stand out in some way so I can maybe learn a trick.
... And i used ChatGPT already in kinda emergency situations, like when I know 5 minutes in advance that I have to speak in front of a crowd/in a meeting and it gave me extremely useful outlines to quickly adapt to even when in a panicked mind state - calming me down through a given structure that sounded okay-ish, and it doesn't matter if the response is right or wrong.
