it is useful as a sort of better google, like for things that are documented but reading the documentation makes your head hurt so you can ask it to dumb it down to get the core concept and go from there

I agree with this point so much. I'm probably a real thicko, and being able to use it to explain concepts in a different way or provide analogies has been so helpful for my learning.

I hate the impact from use of AI, and I hope that we will see greater efficiencies in the near future so there is less resource consumption.
