it's still a quicker way to get a good result than manually synthesizing it from two or three different references

… I use them at work to take shortcuts - eg, I won't look up the syntax for some function call, I'll ask GPT instead. I'm able to evaluate whether it's correct or not (and often some small thing will be off) but it's still a quicker way to get a good result than manually synthesizing it from two or three different references. I imagine it's similar with doctors -- an expert can get a quick 80% answer, sound it against their judgement, and refine.
