> the jury is still out on whether ChatGPT is truly useful or not
I'd pay $100 a month for ChatGPT. It allows me to ask free-form questions about some open-source packages with truly appalling docs and usually gets them right, and saves me a bunch of time. It helps me understand technical language in papers I'm reading at the moment regarding stats. It's been useful to find good Google search terms for various bits of history I wanted to find out more about.
I don't think the jury is out at all on whether it's useful. The jury is out on the degree to which it can replace humans for tasks, and I'd suggest the answer is "no" for most tasks.
