For casual conversations, maybe. But for actual computing tasks, it’s more effective to outline prompts and give it direct instructions without fluff.
Not the actual task or code, but the chat interface is useful for brainstorming.
Yes, without fluff and strict outlines, best is an actual template.. But the prompts you give, are most easily given as if you're talking to a 20 yo junior. Or maybe even better a 10 yo junior.
and providing you take into account that it cannot plan ahead for contingencies or consider negative possible outcomes. they have no sense of the past or the future, existing entirely within the moment of a prompt.
