Yeah, this is why I can't really take anyone seriously when they say it'll take over the world. It's certainly cool, but it's always going to be limited in usefulness.

Some areas I can see it being really useful are:

• generating believable text - scams, placeholder text, and general structure
• distilling existing information - especially if it can actually cite sources, but even then I'd take it with a grain of salt
• trolling people/deep fakes

That's about it.
