Your bias is that you want it to do your job, but extrapolating that since it's no good at that (for whatever reason), that it's no good for anything and forgetting that there are many other jobs out there.

I agree with your general sentiment and have been slumming on r/singularity lately where there has been a ton of hype. One thing that I think I've gleaned from my reading the comments there, is that people who aren't as skilled at using search engines find ChatGPT to be magical.

To my way of thinking, crafting the perfect prompt is about the same, or more, effort than crafting the perfect Google search. In both cases I'll probably have to double check the sources if I want a critical analysis of the results.
