I would’ve found it extremely useful in school for studying advanced topics in biology, and now I use it to explain programming concepts to me, or to explain other languages. Some of the answers really do feel like you have a world-class tutor right next to you. It’s not without errors but it’s mostly accurate and insightful.
It’s also really good at helping you search for things that you can’t just type into a search box using keywords. Like, you can give it a general description of what you’re thinking about and it’ll guess. I’ve used it for TV shows from the 90-00s I largely forgot about, but also words, phrases, or concepts I can’t quite remember. One time I was trying to remember a famous experiment but gave it the wrong scientist and it correctly guessed who it was and what the experiment was about.
It’s also useful for brainstorming. You give it a general description of what you’re doing and it’ll give you somewhat generic recommendations of what you could expect other people to do so that you cover most bases. I’ve also used this for discussions where I’m not sure about my position so I’ll ask it to get a better idea about the problem and to give me other ideas about what I’m not considering.
Of course, these are all abstract descriptions, but if you want a more concrete example, let me know.

OK, good points. I’ve had lots of hallucinations and fake info tho.
