I think that's still in line with what I mean. Letting the AI solve the problem doesn't work, but I've had several times that simply trying to explain the problem to the AI helped me solve it. Sometimes it's not an interactive encyclopedia, but an interactive rubber duck. That works too.

Don't outsource the thinking to the AI, is what I mean. Don't trust it, but use it to talk to, to shape your thoughts, and to provide information and even ideas. But not the solution, because that has never worked for me for any non-trivial problem.
