That's the thing, it's a useful assistant for an expert who will be able to verify any answers.

It's a disaster for anyone who's ignorant of the domain.

Tell me about it. I teach a python class. Super basic, super easy. Students are sometimes idiots, but if they follow the steps, most of them should be fine. Sometimes I get one who thinks they can just do everything with chatgpt. They'll be working on their final assignment and they'll ask me what a for loop is for. Than I look at their code and it looks like Sanscrit. They probably haven't written a single line of code in those weeks.
