I have tried it and it's great. But, because it's so effective, it's easy to over extrapolate and anthropomorphise it. I think it's useful to keep in perspective (as the article and referenced paper - https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.03551 - talk about) that ChatGPT/LLMs are, ultimately, just extremely powerful statistical next-token prediction systems.

That doesn't at all invalidate the achievement or belittle the impact such systems will have on society but, keeping this in mind does help to avoid blowing everything out of proportion (which is easy to do because, yep, ChatGPT is genuinely very cool and exciting tech).
