    got every single question wrong

    A colleague browbeat me into trying o1 on a web development project. Not a single one of its answers was correct, but it did give the kernel of a useful solution which, through additional reading and experimentation, resulted in a very good solution. I'm sure it would have taken me much longer to get there without o1.

    The takeaway for me is that it one treats everything it says with utmost suspicion and checks it carefully, it most certainly can help an experienced practitioner arrive at good solutions. Take nothing it says at face value or you'll end up looking like a fool; which would be well deserved.
