This is slightly tangential, but has anyone recently used ChatGPT for non-trivial programming tasks where you start typing a precise description of what you need from the system and by the time you finish writing it you realise there's a simple way to do it? It has happened to me several times and it was as if serialising the problem was the hard part, like that famous Einstein quote.
