Here's my pet example...feel free to google around yourself on this.
Problem: I want an AWS CLI command line that requests a whole bunch of wildcard certificates from AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) for a TLD.
Ostensible solution: the AWS official docs have a small snippet to achieve this, BUT -- the snippet on the official page is inadvisable as it leads to a browser cert warning.
So I (skeptically) asked ChatGPT for a command line to achieve what I was trying to do.
Try 1: got basically the snippet from the AWS official docs (but with the inadvisable flag set to the _Correct_ value, strangely)
Prompt 2: please give me more best practice options
Try 2: get back a bunch of new CLI options and their meanings. 3 are useful. 1 is hallucinated. 1 is deprecated.
Prompt 3: keep going with more options
Try 3: 2 more useful new options, 2 more options I chose not to use
As a skeptic, the overall experience was much more efficient that googling around or even reading a manpage. I put it all on the fact that context is maintained between questions, so you don't have to repeat yourself when asking for clarifications.
