Kept watching people talk about it like it was changing how they worked and honestly assumed most of it was exaggeration.
Then a few months later I had a problem I was genuinely stuck on and just threw it at ChatGPT out of laziness more than anything.
The output wasn't perfect but it got me 70 percent of the way there in about four minutes. Something that would have taken me the better part of a morning.
I went back and looked at what I'd been doing before I dismissed it and realized I'd just been prompting it badly. Garbage in, garbage out, and I'd blamed the tool.
The stuff you dismiss after one bad experience has a way of quietly getting better while you're not watching.
What did you write off early that you ended up actually using later?
