ChatGPT reminds me of autumns in 1990s, when freshmen students all over the world got access to Unix-type machines, and discovered newsgroups, filling them with their nonsense, including "Test" posts...
I'm also old enough to have used email for a couple of blissful years completely free of mass e-mail spam.
In my opinion, it's just one more shitspout added to the world. Moar content! Quality does not matter! Just make sure it looks nice and plausible!

No software patents, and the neighboring Soviet Union had just dissolved: future looked bright.
But now we are grumpy old man complaining about the future.
Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’
Bob Dylan

Sounds like a bunch of grumpy old men complaining about kids walking on their lawn, and they had to walk uphill both ways to school in the snow.
I'm telling you that any benefits you think you'll see from the use of ChatGPT will be vastly outnumbered by the downsides.
May be time for a little Bob Dylan -

But see guys, not all of are so grumpy and closed minded despite the age, some started to "swim":

The home grown AI tells the PM what people think.
(I try to see the positive side, with a few script Hungary might be able to get back Transsylvania without a single shot )
Developed by Romanian researchers, Ion’s main task will be to scan social networks to inform the government “in real time of Romanians’ proposals and wishes”, Ciuca said on Wednesday.

P. S. don't mind cows, they are nice, but they have to stay in their own fields.

For walking uphill both ways you also have to go down hill, so something is wrong here.
The whole money making business of advertising on the net is very annoying and drives me away from for instance youtube. The more adverts show up the less I will use it, and I'm not going to pay for it, because the ratio crap to usefulness is to bad.
I'm telling you that any benefits you think you'll see from the use of ChatGPT will be vastly outnumbered by the downsides.

But will it change our lives for the better? The jury is still out, but I'll bet it won't.
Entirely beside the point about whether or not to have a discussion section about it here. I think it's very worthwhile and I'll add it. if no one uses it, no big deal.

Can it be used for writing school papers?
This is what ChatGPT said when The Associated Press asked it to answer that question in all caps from the perspective of a principal shouting a brief message through a school’s PA system:
“DO NOT USE CHATGPT OR ANY OTHER AUTOMATED WRITING TOOL FOR SCHOOL PAPERS. THIS IS
CHEATING AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT USING CHATGPT OR ANY OTHER
AUTOMATED WRITING TOOL FOR SCHOOL PAPERS, THERE WILL BE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.”
But when asked to answer the same question on its own, ChatGPT offered this more measured warning:
“As a general rule, it is not appropriate to use ChatGPT or any other automated writing tool for school
papers, as it is considered cheating and does not benefit the student in the long run.”

ChatGPT probably realizes that not every institution has banned it. Google for different approaches being taken.

Teaching will have to adapt and thesis writers will have to get a real job.
Current ChatGPT model/algorithm have no ability to realize things.

As cheap, small and good, electronic handheld calculators, came onto the market. With green florescent displays, then (typically) red LED, and later LCD screens.
I remember big arguments in education, as to how they would handle the situation. So, for a number of years (if I remember correctly, in the UK), calculators were totally banned from exam rooms, at least in schools.
But they (education establishments), eventually relented, and allowed calculators into exams, even maths exams (if I remember, correctly).
I suspect ChatGPT will or may, go through similar approval cycles.
Because at the end of the day. The skills of using ChatGPT well and effectively, are probably going to be an important part of modern day, future activities. In the same way, even using a calculator (or computer), well and effectively, also involves some skills.

Is that the right and best measuring stick for it?
Such lack of realization, doesn't seem to stop powerful chess playing computers, from beating, even the worlds best human players.
Or AI self driving cars, (when enabled/allowed, which sometimes happens, already, in some places, some of the time), driving me to where I need to go.
Although ChatGPT is NOT really intelligent, as such. It does quite an impressive range of 'intelligence' like tasks, which even 10 or 20 years ago, seemed like a very distant dream.
It certainly seems to be able to read random texts, that it is given and process the text, and provide reasonably intelligent (like) responses to the text.
Showing a reasonable or better measure of 'understanding'. Even though it doesn't really understand it (properly, yet!).
