100%, this is a tool that is going to be on every person's phone in the next 5yrs. Whether it's ChatGPT or via search engines or another interface. This has massive implications for the world.

The recent South Park episode where the boys are using ChatGPT to write the perfect romantic replies to their girlfriends really opened my eyes to how impactful this is going to be, not just business copywriting/education essays/etc but even for social interactions like dating (Tinder is going to get interesting).

It's like an autocomplete for your day-to-day life.

It kind of already is. I was chatting with my 15 year old nephew and he had it on his phone.

Sure but all tech takes time for maximum penetration into the mainstream. Crossing the chasm, etc.

I think you will be surprised here. Its a huge value for many average people, highly accessible and basically free. This is not an adoption wave, but an unprecedent tsunami!

Anecdotally, it's already being used in day to day life. My friends (who work in non stem fields) have been using it to settle arguments. My neighbour has been using it to ask for gardening advice. An acquaintance at the mosque used it to help him create posters in Photoshop (he asked it how to implement masking and such). It's actually incredible how quickly it's being adopted.
