I find that even beyond "activation energy", a lot of my exploration with ChatGPT is around things I don't necessarily initially even intend to take forward, but is just curious about, and then realise I can do with much less effort than I expected. You can often get much of the same effect by bouncing ideas of someone, who doesn't necessarily need to know the problem space well enough to solve things but just well enough to give meaningful input. But people with the right skills aren't available at the click of a button 24/7.
