"Imagine being an expert on all sub-fields of IT, law, marketing, medical, etc and being able to combine all that knowledge from those fields. A human will never be able to do that. The potential is huge but like any source of information you have to verify."

ChatGPT is not an expert in any of these fields, it just has an enormous detail knowledge, but no understanding. A real expert actually understands his field and gives answers that makes sense and clearly states if he does not know something. ChatGPT always gives authorative answers and sometimes they are right. It is a advanced tool, but no competent human is about to be replaced by it anytime soon.

I would beg to differ. It can combine information from various sources and make it into a working script or program. I've seen it do that various times with questions much to obscure to have found 1:1 on google. This is not a talking search engine, it's really something much more advanced.
