I stop it from coding, just ask it to brainstorm with me on a design or plan. After a few iterations it knows what I want and then I ask it for specific outputs. Or I code those myself, or some combination.

I’ve found that it’s sometimes amazing and sometimes wastes a lot of my time. A few times it’s really come up with a good insight I hadn’t considered because the conversation has woken up some non-obvious combination. I use ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and one or two IDE tools.
