Nearly every woman I know who is an English as a second language speaker is leaning hard into these things currently to make their prose sound more natural. And that has segued into them being treated almost as a confidant or a friend.
As flawed as they are currently, I remain astounded that people think they will never improve and that people don't want a plastic pal who's fun to be with(tm).
I find them frustrating personally, but then I ask them deep technical questions on obscure subjects and I get science fiction in return.
And once this garbage is in your context, it's polluting everything that comes after. If they don't know, I need them to shut up. But they don't know when they don't know. They don't know shit.
I am reminded of AI summaries and Microsoft Copilot. All push low value. But I separate that from the underlying potential of the technology. And I wish we heard more from deep domain experts like Karpathy and less from influencer dilettantes like Dylan Patel about where this is going.
