"Jesus on burnt toast" is probably the most apt comparison I've heard on the matter LOL I like your take. ChatGPT (and AI language models in general) are an excellent tool, but at the end of the day, they're just that - a tool. It's a tool I've already begun implementing in my academics, but keeping its weaknesses in mind. It is QUITE flawed, after all. I feel, like calculators, it'll fall into a good role alleviating tedium from certain tasks, but the shock value it's caused in society hasn't worn off. Now, modern day calculators did actually replace an antiquated job of which the name 'calculator' originated from, but I don't feel ChatGPT is good enough at anything enough to actually replace any specific profession, especially anything that requires more than a basic comprehension in a subject matter. It's ultimately still just word vomit, and needs close supervision. After all, all I see in the news is how people have used ChatGPT and got in serious trouble over faulty generations (such as ChatGPT making up fake court cases for lawyers). I've not seen "ChatGPT found the cure to cancer!" Although I remember seeing one incident where it did actually progress a field some by giving professionals a different way of thinking about how to solve a problem. The flooding of extremely sub-par AI written books flooding the market is reassuring to me that writers aren't going to get replaced anytime soon, even though I feel that profession is most at risk, if any are.
