I've been using ChatGPT as a brainstorming assistant/Google replacement for stuff I don't know how to find. For simple document retrieval (blogs, documentation, etc) I find search to be far superior still, but ChatGPT shines when I'm trying to figure out what I don't know I don't know.

There's a quote, apparently by Donald Rumsfeld (TIL) that reads “There are known knowns, things we know that we know; and there are known unknowns, things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns, things we do not know we don't know.” I find the known knowns and known unknowns are well served by traditional web search, but ChatGPT and similar tech can help me explore the unknown unknowns.
