I didn’t use it for those things but I do use it every day for a multitude of tasks. For myself I use it far more than Google itself.
But these are the things people are complaining about - not AI itself, but the people making it, the reasons that they’re making it, and the consequences that that is having on the human condition.
For your example, people don’t complain about it making Google obsolete or something, but about the fact that LLMs like ChatGPT are wrong about 53% of the time and often completely make stuff up, and that the companies making and pushing them as a replacement for search engines have collectively shrugged their shoulders and literally said “there’s nothing we can do to prevent it” when asked about these “hallucinations” as they call them.
for generating filler text and in general making things more formal it can do a good job, yes you do need to review it’s output, but that beats needing to write the whole thing in a less hostile tone.
