This is not my experience whatsoever. Maybe I'm not good enough of a programmer/high level enough (I'd be surprised if this was it) but I can't imagine ChatGPT spitting out incorrect syntax helping me much on something I can't solve. I also don't have a very "pair programming friendly" way of thinking though/style. Maybe that plays a role. I ask it to tell me about libraries or how a solution might get solved (recommend me known products out there, products as in like, popular open source software you might find off the shelf on GitHub) but that's about it. I can't see it telling me how to architect something at a high level or giving implementation details. I've asked it about compiler errors before and how it might fix them, which has lead me to incorrect answers, but did help because I could Google/StackOverflow what was returned as it was typically "on the right track" after a few tries. But that was mainly me just "rushing" and not reading documentation/not having a good understanding of what I was working on (like being more familiar with Rust than C# for example)
