ChatGPT (specifically GPT4) is very good at complicated but shallow questions. For example, "I'm setting up a new TypeScript + Svelte app, I made some changes to the config that I thought were good, but when I try to run the dev server, I get this error." And then paste in your incomprehensible ten line error. Any time you are using some software tool that you're not very familiar with, and you get an error message that you don't understand, try asking GPT4 to explain it to you. It isn't so great at deep, theoretical, algorithmic questions. "NP reductions" are probably not a great fit. Think of it as a research assistant that has a broad understanding of every technology in the world, but isn't as smart as you are about your specific area of expertise.
