That's actually the hidden secret. Millions of people are using it to solve their problems quietly - something Google and other companies whose lunch they're eating should be worried about rather than being worried about grand ideas like "AI Safety". Pretty much all of my non-tech family is using it in ways that I never expected: making meal plans, writing school essays, making assignments for students, writing emails to CRA (Canadian Tax Agency), fixing broken english and translation, etc.
