My ChatGPT use is down. After the novelty wore off, it quickly became apparent that ChatGPT was exceedingly willing to outright lie to you. Which makes it not useful, unless you’re already a subject matter expert who can spot its lies. But if you’re a subject matter expert, you probably don’t need ChatGPT to help you in the first place; I can find answers on Google faster than ChatGPT can generate them.

I suppose it’s also useful for generating things like letters (things where exact truthiness doesn’t really matter). But even for that use case, I find ChatGPT creates overly verbose corporate gobbledygook whenever I ask it to generate text. So I just end up writing the text myself.
