There's a very naive, but working approach: Ask it how :D

Or pretend it's a colleague, and discuss the next steps with it.

You can go further and ask it to write a specific snippet for a defined context. But as others already said, the results aren't always satisfactory. Having a conversation about the topic, on the other hand, is pretty harmless.
