I've seen a lot of articles out there trumpeting how amazing and great ChatGPT is and how it is going to revolutionize the world, and change everything, etc, etc. Basically a level of hype similar to blockchain back in it's heyday.

I take a lot of these articles to be pushing back against the hype surrounding ChatGPT, I mean the average person out there genuinely believes that it is basically a fully conscious AI because it can look and act like a person.

So I think skepticism is warranted and we need people understanding what this tool actually does.

Sure but ChatGPT is useful right now in a way Blockchain never was. It feels more akin to Napster or the original iPhone. Useful right now and if it didn’t progress in anyway it’d still be a solid product. The scary/exciting bit is not knowing where this advancement plateaus.
