I use ChatGPT primarily as a thinking partner, not as a source of definitive answers. It’s most helpful when I’m trying to clarify ideas, explore different angles, or get unstuck when my own thoughts feel jumbled.
What I value most is how it lowers the friction of starting. It helps turn vague ideas into something concrete enough to react to, refine, or discard.
It’s not a replacement for judgment or expertise and it works best when you’re specific about context but that’s also what keeps it useful rather than prescriptive.
I’d recommend it to people who do a lot of thinking, writing, or decision-making and want support in shaping their thoughts.
