I agree with many points but you’re missing something important. In my personal experience, ChatGPT has been just unbelievably transformative in my own life. Just today I had to work out how I could use cyclical data in an AI model. ChatGPT immediately suggested using the sine and cosine of the cyclical data points as the independent variables in the model. How long would it have taken me to dig that up with Google? An hour? Would I have given up and come up with a worse solution? And that’s just today’s example. It’s like Google was: how did I live without this thing before? And that’s even while I agree about the hype, the bland prose and other limitations.
