I assume we all know about the lawyer who used ChatGPT to write a legal brief for him and it basically concocted a nonexistent law to cite and he didn't even bother to check it before submitting it. That did not go over well in court.

When ChatGPT first became available I asked it to rewrite 'Tom Traubert's Blues' lyrics with a Star Trek theme and I was kind of glad that the results were unreadable. ChatGPT will never replace people who like writing sci-fi lyrics for songs their favorite songs.
Interesting read. If ChatGPT is used correctly it can be a helpful tool, but it cannot do it all yet. The article even states that ChatGPT helped identify some of the writing cliches in Black Mirror. But expecting ChatGPT to come up with an entirely new idea for an episode is not going to work. It also makes me question how much effort was put into the prompt. There is a big difference between "make me a Black Mirror script" and using multiple prompts to generate episode ideas, then character ideas, then a basic script from one idea and one character, ect. I always found forcing ChatGPT to go through multiple steps works better then 1 basic prompt.
I'd argue that doing anything more complex with just one simple prompt and using these things through a raw chat interface is just wrong and too primitive way to work with.
To have any chance of getting any reasonable output requires multiple prompts and steps, refining and evaluating the responses and going back and forth and is something that will probably be automated in the actual end products that use this technology.
Current ChatGPT style interface is like asking application end users to directly interface with a SQL database, instead of just offering them an interface layer that hides and automates all the details.
