I am the primary source of my opinion, give me a break. I'm sharing my own personal experience; it is therefore not an "estimation".
I will say that checking back a day later, I am stunned at how many smart programmer types are clearly not even close to getting how useful this tool is. For people that don't find it very helpful, to me that just means they're not asking enough of it yet. More people just need to spring for the $20/month and start asking GPT4 about any old technical subject they think they know well but about which they might also have holes in their knowledge.
It's a tool that rewards creativity, so you kind of get out what you put in. Many folks here are too young, but back when search engines were coming out, there was a phase for many people where they only knew how to treat it as a toy. Like, search for their own web page to see if it showed up; search for a question they already knew an answer to to see if it was correct. It required a bit of a mental reset; a "click"; before each person would know automatically, without reminding themselves, that they could actually search for things they didn't know.
It seems like there is something similar going on here. It's not a search engine so it's not exactly about stuff we do or don't know, but I gather that a lot of people thus far have not uncovered the advantages it actually gives them.
