You used it in a way where the result was simple and you could verify its correctness. You used it as a super-search tool, it's good at that. It's a different use case than having it generate a lot of code from scratch.

Exactly. If people understood that this is super-search and super-autocomplete, we'd maybe find a real net-positive use for the tech. But I think the conversational tone will keep fooling us, especially since the LLM providers have heavily invested in that direction.
