What I've noticed is that interest in ChatGPT is spotty. Within any given discipline, some people are excited, and are using it. Others are ambivalent. I don't think either group of people are getting more stuff done, discovering more useful things, etc. I don't think this is unusual. Adoption of iPhones and GUI-based computers was that way too. People who had those things were by definition more active on them, but not necessarily getting more done. There could be some self selection going on here. Someone who was really fluent at the old way might not see such a boon from the new way. I confess to being among the ambivalent, but I see it being used around me, chatted with people about it etc., so I'm not ignorant about it.
