chatgpt is only laughably wrong to educated people. it's sadly better than most people can achieve on their own. Even for educated people, the laughable part is only a personal quirk that they focus on for psychological reasons, but taken seriously a paper written by chatgpt is a good place to start and would save an educated person a lot of time in just touching it up to make it presentable, or changing the query to pare down its search for a better starting point.

It's not doing nothing, it's doing a lot.
