The way I see it generative text AI are good for creating first drafts of any text you need to create and as a brainstorming tool. The biggest drawback is that you can get some very random results that most people will interpret as lies. My current view is that won't change any time soon or ever. What I see happening is that most companies providing the service will work towards making sure that good information is provided by proofing the most popular queries but they will not be able to cover all queries or prompts. So, the more information you know related to your field, the easier it will be to spot falsehoods. Experts in their field will greatly increase their output by using the AI. Novices will have a hard time since they will never be sure about the information given by the AI so they will need to proof it somehow or risk using bad info. which will reflect badly on their output.
AI products are beginning to look like most of the tech products in terms of their reliability. You need to be a bit of an expert to make sure it's all working. There's really no tech product that will work 100 percent of the time. It's rare that a user can pick up a product without having to learn a bit about how it should work and how it can fail to work. AI's will have the same drawbacks so knowing about how to get the best out of the AI will be a strong skill. Similar to the way IT needs all the people to function. AI tech support will be a thing.
