When you have two choices and don't really know which one to pick, there's an old trick to throw a coin. Go with the coin, unless you really dislike the outcome, which tells you that the other choice was the right one all along.
I use ChatGPT in a similar manner, for example when writing documentation, I'll ask it: "What are the important topics that should be covered in a documentation on X?" and "Can you give me a suggestion for a structure of such a documentation?". Now I can easily follow along, unless I feel like it is a bad approach.
With coding, it is almost like an improved rubber duck. I don't trust the replies, but the engagement is helping me structure my thoughts.
