MODERATORS
I think the majority of people use it to (unreliably) solve tedious problems or spit out a whole bunch of text that they can't be bothered to write.
While ChatGPT has been intentionally designed to be as friendly and conversational as possible, I hope most people do not see it as something to have a meaningful conversation with instead of as just a tool that can talk.
Anecdotally, whenever I see someone mention using ChatGPT as part of their decision-making process it is usually taken less seriously, if not outright laughed at.

Apparently, "suicide" is also a disproportionally common search term on Bing as opposed to other search engines. What does that say about Microsoft?
