I've been doing a lot of comparisons between ChatGPT and a fighter jet lately.

Unless you have some amount of skill and awareness around the domain you are intending to operate in, it is likely you won't even be able to get the metaphorical engines started. Anyone who has previously mastered some domain is almost certainly going to find various degrees of value here. Knowing it doesn't give you 100% answers is half the battle. Being able to derive the actual ground truth is the other. Those stuck somewhere in between may be most at risk of LLM hallucinations talking them into Narnia-tier solutions - i.e. crashing the jet.

For example, I'd consider myself semi-experienced in software development. I don't use ChatGPT to write C# methods and then directly paste them into the codebase. I use it to quickly document abstract concepts which has the amazing effect of clearing my mental cache. I find I can usually type my 500 word brain dumps verbatim into chatgpt, append "as pseudocode" and then press the GC button on the side of my head. I can't recall the last time I've been this productive.
