Yea, this AI is good for writing unimportant stuff like "talking to" famous dead people, or D&D descriptions on the fly. It can be useful for basic coding if you know how to fix its mistakes. Oh and keeping telemarketers busy a la Jolly Rodger. And I guess spam blog posts.
It's best used as a toy still, after I tried to use it to augment my work, it's just usually worse than a good search engine still in terms of answering questions.
The free image generators are pretty impressive again for like making flavor art for D&D on the fly, or just if you're not an artist. Some of the tuned ones can make decent unconnected art or fake pictures, but so far I don't think you can pick a character you create and like get it to make a graphic novel with it.
So - watch out people who make RPG modules I guess.
Yeah, gaming and the arts are where I can see this AI shine. Aside from mundane artistry, I don't think anyone needs to be worried about their job. This AI isn't going to steal your job because once again; it has no real intelligence. It requires an intelligent person to steer it and process its results. It'll only cost you your job if you don't evolve to use this new tool.
