I mean, off the bat you might use it to replace Google, like bing is already doing.

And it doesn't have to solve a problem for you to make an impact on your life- it can make your life worse too. If your daughter is interested in writing, graphic design,or programming, well, finding a job and moving out by 30 might become a lot harder. Bing is already in use. Copilot is already in use. These are not small markets or use cases.

That's not for me. I gave it a try for a couple of days, but using ChatGPT as a search engine is much, much less useful to me than the old-fashioned method.

Not sure if you meant to say "more" or "less" in there, but I assume "less", and I agree. That's why I don't use it either.

Bing was already in use before ChatGPT and Copilot is seen by most as an evolution of auto-complete. My last paragraph specifically said that I predict that the applications for generative AI will be in areas where we're already using ML. Search and auto-complete are two examples.
