Like every other technological advancement in history, people who adopt it will benefit, while those who stick their head in the sand and cry "this is bad", "this will put people out of a job" etc. will get left behind.
Except now Microsoft is sitting between you and the technology. Basing your future on that is quite a bet.
ChatGPT is down

I wouldn't put my faith in ChatGPT for anything that matters.
I used it quite a bit over the weekend to reacquaint myself with my small music studio, which I had ignored over the past few years. It told me all sorts of accurate information about my microphones, hardware, etc, including helping me with some connection problems having to do with buggy signal flow.
Someone should stick a tts-and-stt converter in a rubber duck and interface it to ChatGPT, I bet it would sell like hotcakes.

I don't understand how ChatGPT (or similar interactive agents) function, so I'm very confused by your experience. Was ChatGPT just a replacement for internet searches (e.g. instead of searching for a spec sheet for your model microphone, you asked the bot "what is the for microphone?")? Or was ChatGPT doing the debugging with you just providing data from the real world?
It also gave me advice on how to mic an upright bass when playing live in a room with other players. I consider its advice superior to advice I had earlier received from discussion boards. It also gave me microphone recommendations that I can research.
I also described a scenario of how my Focusrite Clarett8pre wasn't sending sounds to my headphones until I also turned on my Profile 2626, which is connected via optical ADAT cables. It told me that it sounded like the connection between the two was impeding the Focusrite's ability to route the inputs to my headphone mix, and to check Focusrite Control to see how the routing was defined. It wasn't a complete answer, but it put me on the right track.

I wish there was some legally binding definition of "open" in the context of software so that OpenAI could be compelled to change their name.

So while before you'd simply type "my microphone is broken and I hear hissing noises" and pray Google had the answer to a more or less exact match for your question, now you type the same and ChatGPT can tell you possible causes. But then you refine your question "no, I tried this and that's not it. My mike brand is X, and it's a bit dusty. Anything else I should try?". New answer by ChatGPT. "No, I tried that and that's not it. But now I remember my dog bit it, is dog saliva bad for the mike?", and so on and so forth.
And it can do magic that Google cannot. Say you ask for a snipper of code in Java. Then you realize you want to see the solution in Python. "Please rewrite the code you just generated but in Python" -- and voilà!

"Hacks" aside, this looks more like caching issues. Assuming this is real, I wonder how many people got access to other companies' communication and code via access to random "chats".

I hear two things requested a lot - an open source ChatGPT and more controls on the training/data/usage/etc. How can these two things be held in balance? If it is open source entirely, can't I use the training data and tool in any way I want? What guardrails prevent me from using it to generate hate speech? Given the compute power needed to train/run it; where are people going to do that in any accessible way that do…
I know why you say this, but it annoys me so much.
Do you blame the hammer, or the fist wielding it? Without gpt, people can still spew hate too.

I use a rubber duck for that, it has all kinds of interesting stuff to say on the subject. Someone should stick a tts-and-stt converter in a rubber duck and interface it to ChatGPT, I bet it would sell like hotcakes.
