I'm still so lost on what the use case for chatGPT is unless its like, learning a language (considering it's a language model as i understand it).
It does not reliably source accurate information.
It does not create nuanced artistic writing.
It does not produce reliable code.
I'm certain 90% of its value is in everyone wanting very badly for it to be something that its not, but it just isn't.
It's like if someone invented a claw hammer and people bought into it because "Oh wow, this could be used as a door stop! This could be used to cook my stir fry! This could be used to play a piano!" and yes, you could use it for those things, but really the thing was built for hammering nails and thats about all its actually good at.
This is why I think there is hype, but little usage, because no one wants to use it for what it might actually be good at, and they don't even market it as such because its more profitable to pretend its an "everything" tool.
It's like going to a coffee shop, but for some reason there's pizza on the menu, and of course when you order it, the pizza is dog shit.
I mainly use it to create placeholder graphics. It's much better than looking around for open-source clipart. It's placeholder because most of the output is pretty plastic and unreal. When time comes, will be hiring a real designer who can create actually original content that best fits a specific look and feel.
It's not a reliable source for actual data, news, or even a good programming aide. Every single time I tried it, it confidently spit out incorrect stuff. Will see how it does generating test cases for a server application project.

You're doing it right IMO, shaking out the idea with generative AI before hiring a designer probably saves the designer a lot of headaches.
