Interesting observation. I find myself using ChatGPT to find the proper words for something. I describe my problem or algorithm in a naive way, and usually ChapGPT will present some naive python solution. But when pressed ChatGPT will tell you this problem is actually say Graph Theory. But it will still fall back to the naive python solution.

So then I just start a new "conversation" and ask which graph algorithm applies to my problem and instead of a naive solution I am pointed to an optimised algorithm and a usable library that implements it.
