Its not comparable to the past. Difference being you can go back and forth with ChatGPT. And I push the probationers I supervise to do that, cause people are very different.
Some are curious, some are anxious about getting things wrong, some are doing the bare minimum and ya some are full of themselves. Each one exploits the tool differently. But I get them to ask it about these things too (are there things I am missing cause I want to get this right/why is my boss saying I am full of myself/my boss told me he doesn't have time to teach me about X but if I am curious thats something I should look into etc) which you couldn't do with them in the past.
