Have you had a chance to play with ChatGPT specifically? I would have said exactly the same about GPT-3, but ChatGPT has completely blown me away. The writing it produces no longer has that surreal quality, it can create cohesive narratives. I can't speak to how it works at a technical level, but I'd say the results are on par with what a strong middle school student might write in terms of content (and above that in grammar and writing craft).

Yeah, I have been playing with ChatGPT, and it is amazing and lots of fun. However, it mimics patterns it finds in the corpus of text it has been taught on. However it lacks basic understanding of the semantics, the meaning and connections, behind the words it mashes together. Give it a long prompt and ask it to write a story where John lisps and Suzy barks, and it doesn’t understand what John or Suzy really represent. It has a superficial understanding of words, like an alien that has read a dictionary and thesaurus. Note: My text above scored 99.94% “real” using https://huggingface.co/openai-detector/ https://huggingface.co/openai-detector/ and I didn’t edit it to improve the score. Your comment scored 97.81% real (admittedly the detector doesn’t work very well on short texts. I tried removing some cliches from your comment but I failed to improve the rating).
