When you used google previous to chatgpt, did you force yourself to only allow yourself to use the “I’m feeling lucky” way of search along with having to use the result as your unadjusted production code. Did you never modify the code you came across?

Of course not, that’s ridiculous. You probably searched, read a few stackoverflow comments, found a relevant GitHub repo, a library for python/language of choice, and probably also a SAAS offering solely focused on the 3 lines of code you need. You quickly parsed all that and decided to modify some code in one of the SO comments for your needs. Next time, you looked passed half the junk and went straight to the first SO result and was able to tweak and use the result. The next time, it didn’t help but did help you write some inspired custom code for the problem, at least you knew what not to try.

My point being ai is useful. It’s not meant to be first result is final answer type solution, if that’s how you use it you will have issues.
