People bitch a /lot/ about the hallucinations AI produce.
They're definitely a problem if you're working in academic or engineering fields, and it'll probably take a lot of work to make them less so.
However, I think the hallucinations have kind of been helpful for the limited use I've had of chatGPT: Getting bored/writer's block and asking it to help generate some ideas I can play off, based on a limited description of the situation and context. There's no copypasting involved, but holy crap chatGPT already outperforms most "Talking to another human being" experiences I've had for the same purpose.
