I think that's unnecessarily pessimistic view. I have recently started using ChatGPT for mid-hard questions (when I can't get an answer immediately using Google), mostly "how do I" questions. It lies of dreams up fake answers about half of the time, but this still means that 50% of time I get my solution without digging through obscure manuals.

I like to think about it like asking questions to a well read but dishonest student during an oral exam. They know some things, and try really hard to answer every question, even resort to making things up in hope of getting a passing grade.
