I agree. I used ChatGPT to boostrap a coding session in which I was using a library to describe data structures. My steps were - ask for documentation and examples relevant to the task ahead. - produce some examples - tweak the example using domain-like data - propose a solution using the lib as is - ask for a solution using a different convention than the classic one

i kind of think about this as a REPL assistant. very interested in other ways to use it (and the use cases, anecdotally I also used it to try and learn a little bit of COBOL using the same iterative approach)
