Yea, I think people hide “the magic smoke” by using complex queries and then filling in the gaps of chatGPT’s outputs with their own knowledge, which then makes them overvalue the output. Strip that away to simple examples like this and it becomes more clear what’s going on. (I think there IS a lot of value for them in their current state because they can jog your brain like this, just not to expect it to know how to do everything for you. Think of it as the most sophisticated rubber duck that we’ve made yet).
