The task was essay writing, and the three 3 groups were No tools, search, ChatGPT.

The people who used chatGPT had the most difficulty quoting their own work. So not boilerplate, CRUD - but yes the advantage is clear for those types of tasks.

There were definite time and cognitive effort savings. I think they measured time saved, and it was ~60% time saved, and a ~32% reduction in cognitive effort.

So its pretty clear, people are going to use this all over the place.
