I think Phind gets it right. I've found the service genuinely useful.
It's not that it's always correct in all that it says, and you definitely need sometimes call its bullshit what it's contradicting itself or whatever; that's fine. I've had it invent libraries and conflate data structures a few times so it's far from perfect.
I find it works best when you're familiar with the domain, or when you're asking basic questions about something you're not familiar with. It's not making me a 10x more productive developer or anything like that, but it's absolutely been helpful, significantly more so than Google recently.
(I like it so much I'll shill for it even though I technically operate a competing search service)
