I have yet to have been provided a specific example that matches the hyperbolic descriptions people are throwing around.

I'll give you that: many of the claims are hyperbolic & ridiculous, including that particular one by the gp. The only way I can think of that statement being remotely true is if "high-priced" has no bearing on the quality of work of those consultants (though tbh that is often the case in reality).
Personally I have not found ChatGPT particularly good at anything I need to do. I have however found it very passable at many things I don't enjoy doing. It's reporting boilerplate is far more tailored & novel than anything I could ever put into a reusable reporting template. I dread writing reports: it's not a technical challenge for me but I gain no stimulus from it, so reducing the task to one where I just have to heavily edit something ChatGPT prepared for me is frankly incredible. The same goes for formal cold-call emails to people I don't know: another menial, unpleasant but necessary task.
It's also great at spitballing, and - as others have mentioned - quick shallow topic summaries of things you'd normally rely on a quick google & scan to get a quick topic summary (timely as Google gets worse and worse).
These are microgains throughout your day, nothing truly revolutionary, but that's the case for many successful tech we take for granted.
