Just to play double-devils advocate:
If you want something done right, other times you will have to get someone else to do it. You know what you want, but you might not have the skills to do it. I can't represent myself well in court, do a good job of plumbing or cut my own hair, so I would ask for experts to do that for me.
Plus if someone is capable, it's often quicker to delegate than do, and if you are delegating to someone with more time to do the task they can often do a better job. Delegating unambiguously is a skill in itself, as instructing AIs will be.

Currently ChatGPT doesn't know it's bad at math, so it can convert a story problem into an equation better than a human but then mess up the arithmetic or forget a step in the straightforward part. But if you specifically give ChatGPT access to Mathematica and an appropriate prompt, it can leverage a good math engine to get the right answer nearly every time. Before long, I don't think that extra step will be necessary. It will know its limits and have dozens of other services that it can delegate to.
