In a similar vein, ChatGPT can be an amazing rubber duck. If I have strange and obscure problems that stumps me, I kinda treat ChatGPT like I would treat a forum or an IRC channel 15 - 20 years back. I don't have "prompting experience or skills", but I can write up the situation, what we've tried, what's going on, and throw that at the thing. And.. it can dredge up really weird possible reasons for system behaviors fairly reliably. Usually, for a question of "Why doesn't this work after all of that?", it drags up like 5-10 reasons for something misbehaving. We usually checked like 8 of those. But the last few can be really useful to start thinking outside of the normal box why things are borked. And often enough, it can find at least the right idea to identify root causes of these weird behaviors. The actual "do this" tends to be some degree of bollocks, but enough of an idea to follow-up.
