I’m sure it does. If you ask a question, it forces you to think the problem through, which has a similar effect as the kind of therapeutic writing that is mentioned in this article.

A well thought out question definitely counts. (Though the majority of my questions to chatGPT certainly are below that threshold)

I’m reminded of this article about writing good Anki cards. The act of writing a good question is at least as important, if not more so, than the spaced repetition part.
