Two years ago we were all blown away by ChatGPT.
The first time I used it was for a college exercise: I gave it some reverse-engineered code that we had to exploit. It gave me a bunch of ideas and the solution was in there.
Did it really work that well 2 years ago?
Maybe I should have used it with my lesson planning.

Sure did, at least relative to our expectations. Many people saw it as the point we passed the Turing Test.

Chatgpt passed it 2 years ago?

yep

You said you also use it to help with programming.
Is it any good?
I think I have used it to solve a puzzle, and it wasnt successful.

It is. It's like autocomplete on your phone on steroids.

It isnt so good at critical thinking, though.
And connecting abstract ideas.
