One could equally say that mainly the mediocre people are excited, while the smart people actually see the limitations. For people doing non-trivial things, the output of ChatGPT seems currently rather far away from being of any deep value. To replace some mundane tasks, yes, but mundane tasks are anyway just for the mediocre.

"The mediocre people" usually are the ones that think there's "mediocre" and "smart" buckets for people.

So when you’re working on something you just let other people take care of the inevitable mundane tasks that arise in daily knowledge work? I’m guessing you’ve never emptied the garbage can at the office either as that would be unworthy of your eminent intellect.
