I love your 2nd point and in my experience this is where ChatGPT excels for me. I wanted to start learning Swift and being able to ask ChatGPT for specific examples on how to do XYZ, copy and paste the code, see the result, tweak, ask follow on questions, and for the most part it just worked. Is it perfect? Not by a long shot, but it's a great start.

For sure! I think I learn best by trying to build something rather than following a tutorial. ChatGPT just makes that so much faster to jump straight into that.

Thanks! That is the first description I've heard of a use for ChatGPT which actually sounds like it would make my work easier. Perhaps I'll give it a try.
