Extreme cargo culting is how I've been thinking about it.
It mostly looks correct, but there's no real understanding going on so even if it looks viable you still need the wit to verify whether what you see is actually correct.
In our field debugging is harder than writing code and is a distinctly different skill that is mostly gained from experience, this is true of other fields, so whilst a lot of jobs may be replaced by AI the skills needed to support "fewer people doing more" intuitively feels like a higher standard.
I also think that appearing to do the right thing is actually "good enough" in most industries and jobs. That there's a lot of people who spend their working days in offices on social media who are going to have a rough decade.

Great copywriting, or rewriting, or perspective taking (tell me what is important about this from the perspective of [blank]). I also enjoy it as an interactive assistant. It's sort of ok with massive error correction for lots of other things, but what I find is prompt engineering is a serious skill to learn, not unlike learning a formal computer language. Maybe even higher effort. So, the barrier to know how to prompt ChatGPT is sort of high, and outside narrow fields the output is not especially useful, which makes it another niche automation tool.
