What Has Been the Most Groundbreaking Benefit of ChatGPT So Far?

For me, the biggest benefit is how it lowers the barrier to learning and getting things done. You can ask a basic question without feeling embarrassed, get something explained in simpler terms, brainstorm ideas, or get help fixing a problem.

It doesn’t replace actually learning the skill, but having an always-available starting point is pretty groundbreaking. Recent research also suggests it can improve writing and reduce the effort needed to learn.
