MODERATORS
I've actually had decent luck with it for big-picture questions. Like, "How do I go about accomplishing this, with this, given this?" It might list a few options, so when before I didn't have a clue, now I have some ideas and can ask/Google the questions that I didn't even know I didn't have before. Of course, you've gotta use due diligence, don't just take its word for it.
Sometimes even when I don't get a good answer from it, it still breaks me out of the mind block I'm in, so I guess it's helped me indirectly that way.
Oh yeah, absolutely, it's great to get pointers in (usually) the right direction. But you'd still be hard pressed to execute on that fully including all the intermediary steps and (more importantly) solving for all edge cases and whatnot.
As a tool it's definitely invaluable.
