your experience does not match mine

which is not saying that your experience is wrong or that you’re using it wrong, however i and many others have managed to get exceptionally good results out of it, and you should be aware of that fact

referring to these experiences as “needing a babysitter” is needlessly provocative as well; we’re all just talking here: no need to insult the intelligence of anyone that has managed to use the tool in a way that works incredibly well

i hope that at some point in the future, you’re able to have your experience match ours, and have a similar feeling of “ooooh i see now… wait… OOOOOOH I REALLY SEEEE NOW”

Well, I hope that some day I will have the same experience.

I think the main problem is that I'm only prompting it with lost causes, when I was unable to find anything on my own with very thorough searches, because there just isn’t an answer available online.

I don’t go there first, because I'm always afraid of hallucinated answers, which are very common. For example, it often just tries to guess function names of programming libraries. That’s just wasting my time.
