There's a lot of hype around ChatGPT, both in IT industry coverage as well as mainstream media, so it was good to see your more balanced approach to discussing it here. ⚖
Open AI say it "sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers" so we need to exercise care in making use of this technology in its current form. It is also very sure of itself – even when it's produced an incorrect answer ❌, it will claim to be confident in that answer, a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect!
As a tester, I also spotted that ChatGPT is being cited as yet another reason to say "testing is dead"! ⚰
