I'm using it to generate cover letters for job applications. I hate writing cover letters because it feels so insincere, so if I'm going to bullshit, may as well let an AI bullshit for me.
I don't use it for research or answering questions because it hallucinates far too much. Until these chat bots can reliably provide sources and quote those sources verbatim, it simply doesn't save me any time when I have to fact check everything it tells me. Same reason I don't trust these AIs to generate summaries, they often get little details wrong.
However, I've found it quite useful for "discovery", finding things I wasn't aware of before and may not show up using a search engine. Whether that be a library/package, a law/statute, products/brands (though monetization will inevitably ruin this), etc. I've found both Chatgpt and Bard will provide nice bulleted lists with a short description of each item, and I can do my own research from there.
