Design Patterns are said to compensate for features missing in a language (e.g. Visitor for multiple dispatch). ChatGPT is sounding similar - solving accidental complexity that "shouldn't" be there in the first place.

Yes. I find it valuable for writing boring translation code when.

Stuff like

   match network_foo_int {
      TYPE_A => Foo::A(read_a()),
      TYPE_B => Foo::B(read_b()),
      ...

I've also found it reasonably good at writing the inverse of the preceding function.
