While i find the downplaying of chatgpt to be a bit much, lets not go too far in the other direction.

ChatGPT is not suitable in applications where accuracy is more important than plausability, is i think the neutral way of putting the limitation.

So it can't write your PhD thesis for you and hasn't literally replaced himans in every field of endeavour. Big whoop. If that's the bar, it is a pretty high bar.

> So it can't write your PhD thesis for you

it can help you write that PhD thesis. It can summarize all current research that might be considered relevant to your current thesis, vastly improving your productivity!

Using chatGPT requires expertise, i think, rather than the other way around! If you have expertise in your field, you can easily check correctness (or at least plausibility) of the output, and fix up the bits it gets wrong. This will make any work you need to undertake faster.
