Perhaps you just don't have a use for it?
It doesn't do the thinking for me but man it's a time saver for busy work.
It turns a lot of my work into "editing" rather than writing and then editing.
It's very good for teachers to differentiate materials for students with a variety of reading levels.
Wow, that's honestly pathetic that you trust it that much. It's the equivalent to hiring a guy on craigslist to do your work for you, except instead of actually doing the work he is 50% likely to generate entire false documentation and sources. But hey, at least it's very fast, so you could be wrong faster than you normally are.
I don't have to trust it though? I just told you I revise and edit.
It doesn't do my job for me, I still have to understand how to do the work properly. But I can use it to save time and then revise, check for errors, etc.
You're basically arguing that spell check is useless because it's wrong sometimes. It's just a tool.
Clearly the people downvoting you don't understand that it's a glorified bullshit generator haha.
