In most cases I've seen AI used, the person spends as much time correcting it than they would if they just did the work without AI. So maybe it makes you feel more productive because a bunch of stuff happens all at once, but at least for text generation, I think it's more of a placebo.

It can at least get one unstuck, past an indecision paralysis, or give an outline of an idea. It can also be useful for searching though data.

If all I want is something blatantly false or legible yet nonsensical, like a modern lorem ipsum, it's a real time-saver.

Why not just use lorem ipsum? It's just a copy/paste, and without the liability of having false information if you forget to proofread it.

I guess ChatGPT is just completely useless, then.
