It doesn’t help you improve. If you are a very good player, bullet could help you practice your pattern recognition. Otherwise, there’s just no point.

Depends if you're a less experienced player and want more time to think. or you get better and slowly work your way faster like start with Rapid(10-15min) then move to Blitz (5min) then Blitz (3min) then once you've been playing for 2-4 weeks of 3min then try some bullet games

I play bullet because it's a quick diversion in between other things, without too much commitment. That said, I also though bullet would be more adventurous and fun, less time to think, more mistakes you can exploit. It turns out that exactly because of this unpredictability, most players just resort to obvious routines. In particular, my interest for bullet started decreasing when I noticed that probably in 60-80% of the games I play, my opponent's main concern seems to be exchanging queens, sometimes with multiple trade offers, even when you made it clear you don't want to. You start an attack, create a couple of threats -> boom, the guy rushes to make queens disappear. If all you're interested in is simplifying and capitalizing on that extra pawn, does it make sense to play bullet?

I wish I were able to play this fast

bullet trains you to rush for longer games. if you take time to actually think in rapid, your elo will go up if you've been using your bullet brain for that previously

in other words it makes your chess worse

Exactly. Or else no one could reach 2400 that easily.

Or Hikaru getting 3300.
