The only person who can answer whether a tool will be useful to you is you. I understand that you tried and couldn't use it. Was it useful to you then? Seems like no.

Broad generalizations of "X is good at Y" rarely can be accurately measured with a useful set of metrics, rarely are studied using sufficiently large sample sizes, and often discredit the edge cases where someone might find it useful or not useful despite the opposite being found generally true in the study.

And no, I haven't tried it. It wouldn't be good at what I need it to do: think for me.
