      Yeah it gives you the answers you ask it to give you. It doesn’t matter if they are true or not, only if they look like the thing you’re looking for.

            not for solving technical problems

            One example is writing complex regex. A simple well written prompt can get you 90% the way there. It’s a huge time saver.

            for generating prose

            It’s great a writing boilerplate code so I can spend more of my time architecturing solutions instead of typing.
