1. Extremely clever people put a lot of work into the design of ChatGPT, in order to have it stitch together items from its training material in a way that provides an emotionally satisfying simulation of human conversation. The company can evaluate the transcripts of user interactions to further revise the system. The design includes semi-random selection of different content items. It seems to me brainstorming is a good use of it. (While assuming it gives informed, accurate truth that needs no confirmation, is an especially bad use.)
Because each answer includes that random factor, I personally feel there's an opportunity for spiritual forces to influence which items are pulled out of its training archives. Unfortunately, a lot of people are putting a lot of energy to feed the egregore that it will be so widely used that plenty of people will get kicked out of their jobs, including many software coders. What about their future? They should've learned to code...
2. From my tech support work and life experiences, I noticed that computer equipment seems to respond to the user's emotional state much like a dog. A scared and cringing person is more likely to get bit, or have the machine eat their homework! A confident, enthusiastic yet calm person is more likely to get the results they expect.
I think any printer would be happy to live in an office as warmly encouraging as yours!
