I am unimpressed, and I don‘t think there is any crisis (other then the lack of consumer protection around these products, copyright, and the amount of energy it takes running these system during a global warming crisis).
If you look at a calculator you will quickly find it is much better then a human in any of the operations that have been programmed into the calculator, and has been since the 1960s. Since the 1960s the operations programmed into your average calculator has increased by several orders of magnitude. The digital calculator sure is impressive, and useful, but there is no crisis. Even in the world outside computing, a bicycle can outperform an human runner easily, yet there is no mobility crisis as a result. ChatGPT is very good at predicting language. And in quite a few subject matters it may be better than your average human in predicting said language. But not nearly as good as a car is to a runner, nor even as good as a chess computer is to a grand master. But if you compare ChatGPT to an expert in the subject, the expert is much much much better then the language model. In these tasks a calculator is much more impressive.
