It's still something new, so they're probably focused on making it good, rather than money-making.

And I _have_ heard about them introducing a paid tier, so maybe it won't end up terrible for a while?

Depends what the content is, I imagine.

"The stock market moved because..." posts can probably be well-replaced by ChatGPT, because it's not like people even know, anyway, so no penalty for being wrong.

An accurate technical explanation of something is a bit more dangerous, as are reviews.

I guess it does well with things that everyone asks, repeatedly, with slight different flavors.

I'm definitely tempted to try and use it to get me started in projects.
