A game changer in helping me find out more about topics that have wisdom buried in threads of forum posts. Great to figure out things I have only fuzzy ideas or vague keywords that might be inaccurate. Great at explaining things that I can follow up on questions about details. Great at finding equations I need but I do not trust it one bit to do the calculations for me. Latest gen also gives me sources on request so I can double check and learn more directly from the horse's mouth.

More things I come to think of: Great for finding specs that have been wiped from manufacturers site. Great for making summaries and comparisons, filtering data and making tables to my requests. Great at rubberducking when I try fix something obscure in Linux though documentation it refers to is often outdated. Still works good for giving me flow and ideas of how to move on. Great at compiling user experiences for comparisons, say for varieties of yeasts or ingredients for home-brewing. This ties into my first comment about being a game changer for information in old forum threads.
