I remember I was using it and I was so frustrated with a piece of code because it was undocumented and so I decided to ask chat gpt. It said to use this python method that I didn't know existed and I was so happy because it solved my exact problem. Of course it turned out that that method didn't exist at all and I had just completely made it up. Which great probability says that there should be a method that does this, but they're obviously isn't. So why would you recommend it?
