I find chat gpt very helpful, way more so than Google for brainstorming and summarizing broad questions.And it's a lot of fun! It's a better writer than almost all of the humans I've met or read, including some professional authors. At work I'll sometimes ask it for algorithmic help too.
Dall E is endlessly amusing and a way better artist than I could ever hope to be.
That said, if it all went away tomorrow, it's be fine with me. As someone who always believed this stuff was inevitable, I'm glad to see it happen, excited about the future, but also not terribly attached to any of it. At the end of the day you get a computer system that's like having a bunch of really smart friends. That's cool, but there have always been greater intelligences that we already don't take full advantage of, whether that's asking a coworker for help or putting the best and brightest in places of power (instead of the conniving and ruthless).
If the AIs ever took my job, I'd be happy for them and move onto something else. Less screen time would be wonderful.
