Verification of a result is often much easier then coming up with the result. Even though chatgpt4 sometimes gives me bs I am much faster in some tasks with it.

Often implies statistics which are not available.

One counter example is summary verification where you can't do better then summarize yourself.

There are definitely things where chatgpt doesn't help much or is worse then doing it yourself. Part of using it effectively is to get a sense when it is effective.
The real question --- Do the benefits really justify the cost?

We don't know the answer to this yet.
