That happy middle ground is so effective, so sad to see people dismissing it as useless. Also sad that people use it for everything and believe it all the time.
Great example of a good use case was using it to spell check my thesis, asking it to explain why it was wrongly spelled and then using my own brain, think if it is correct. That way I am more sure I catch things that I may have missed (suprise, I missed a lot and got helped a lot). Yes 30% was plain wrong but I just ignored that.
