Puh, fun, yes. It's nice having a "conversation". But then everything that comes up I have to double check. As soon as the topic is somewhat specific, I can tell just by looking at it that the code won't work. So at the end of the day I have to go back to Google anyways.

And personally I’m fine with this workflow.

Having a conversation allows me to figure out what I’m trying to figure out.

Once I know that, I know what to look for.

To me, the value of the conversation isn’t its perfect accuracy, but the expressiveness and ease of veering in any direction that seems interesting at the moment. The efficiency gains when jumping around within a subject are incredible.

In a similar situation as you, I’ve been having lots of luck using phind.com . They advertise as “the AI search engine built for developers” and its interface is a blend of google and chatgpt. You can also paste in long snippets of code or provide specific URLs you want it to use as a part of its answer. It then generates a few possible solutions with references.

For me it’s consistently been much more helpful than google.
