You've conflated the critical detail. No garbage-out is the critically significant problem with AI. Right now, ChatGPT is the ability to generate structured results from whatever format we can think of to whatever format we can think of. They may or may not be correct.

It is only a critically significant problem for some applications. People have already come up with a variety of potential solutions for this problem, for different classes of problems, including integration with Wolfram Alpha.

However, verifying results is and will always be important. Iterating on the prompts and alternative paths is also important.

But even as it is right now, it is very useful to a lot of people. Remember, a lot of people accepted self-driving cars that can drive themselves off roads and crash into trailers, even paid extra for it, while this is just text generation for now.

I see that it is going to transform everything. No technical revolution has ever been more readily apparent. We now have an interface to talk to computers that can translate unstructured raw language into other formats. This is the real innovation that will unlock the power of more specialized, more advanced models in the near future.
