I posted this a couple months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33781661 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33781661 [Excitement over Chatgpt is] really not that different from Eliza being cool for a few minutes before being obviously found wanting and got what I though was a funny response of feigned amazement that I could think what way. It's funny to see the wave of hype starting to break.

... but enormously disappointing to see the way so many people have been taken in. The number and strength of defensive statements on hacker news is appalling. Aren't we supposed to be the smart people who know what's going on ... not the gullible people being taken in. (But, as they say, a salesperson is the easiest person to sell to.)

The thing is I've gotten useful work out of it. I'm not trying to say it's AGI or perfect, but it saves time on some things. And for coding I goto google and stack overflow less. maybe 8 out of 10 times I'm happy with ChatGPT. Since I mostly use it for coding I can verify pretty quickly if it worked out or not. for me it saves lot of typing.
