Let's see where it is in a year... People thought Alexa, Siri, etc. would change everything. Amazon sunk 14 billion into Alexa alone. And yet it never generated any money as a business for them. ChatGPT is just an evolution of those tools and interactions. For your professional use how do you know it's giving you non-buggy code? I would be very skeptical of what it provides--I'm not betting my employment on its quality of results.

Not at all. Alexa, Google Now and Siri always been gadgets similar to Microsoft's Office Clippy. They had basic answers and pre-recorded jokes, nothing that interesting, mostly gimmicks. You couldn't have a conversation where you feel the computer is smarter than you. It was more like "Tip of the day"-level of interaction.

Alexa and siri were always trash. They can’t even do basic things. Nobody thought they were good, they were just shilled so that the chinese/advertisers could have a mic in every house

The thing is people wanted Alexa/Siri/Assistant to be what ChatGPT is today. You're seeing the hype that all those Assistants drummed up for years paying off for a company which just ate their lunch. I wouldn't even consider buying Siri/Alexa/Assistant, yet here i am with a $20/m sub and i'd pay incrementally more depending on the features/offerings.
