I find it incredibly helpful for breaking into new things.

I want to learn terraform today, no guide/video/docs site can do it as well as having a teacher available at any time for Q&A.

Aside from that, it's pretty good for general Q&A on documented topics, and great when provided context (ie. A full 200MB export of documentation from a tool or system).

But the moment I try and dig deeper I to something I'm an expert in, it just breaks down.

That's why I've found it somewhat dangerous to use to jump into new things. It doesn't care about bes practices and will just help you enough to let you shoot yourself in the foot.
