What is mind blowing for me is the ability for ChatGPT with limited context to generate content. "Write me a letter informing X about issue Y" will draft 3 paragraphs which typically articulates the problem very well. Asking it to make the response more or less formal or to focus on a specific point will instantly rewrite it as requested.

I haven't delved too deeply but it is pretty good with code generation as well. "Write me a docker image that does X". "Let's use B instead of C." "I also require Z." It does a really solid job.

With the OP's article. It is very impressive how it generates ideas and then is able to drill down and expand on them as more detailed questions are asked. Perhaps something already can do this.. it is first time I have seen it. My experience so far is that ChatGPT is generations ahead of current assistants. For a number of tasks it is faster and more useful than Google.
