Ask HN: How was your ChatGPT Experience?

Despite all the news coverage, the several times I have attempted to use ChatGPT it has been down.

Have many folks here successfully been able to use it? (as opposed to just reading about it like me). What was your experience like? Any big surprises?

    I use it every day. It is really good at succinctly explaining concepts that might require a Google search and sifting through things to find what you're looking for. It is imperfect, but still incredibly useful to me.

    If you go into it without the mindset that you're out to discredit it and nudge it along with the prompts to find what you need, I think that is the most effective way to use ChatGPT right now.
