It's replaced about 50% of my "first touch" queries to google. Obviously coding is great (particularly if you ask it for unit tests for more complex stuff, so you can verify the code and tweak any parts it gets wrong - sometimes the nature of the unit tests tell you what Chat thinks code is supposed to be doing) - I use it a lot for writing letters/interview feedback, letters of reference, etc... I used to do interview feedback with 5 or 6 bullet points and a ranking of 1-5, and was told that we need more material - So, originally I just started doing long form writing, and groused that what I was typing was semantically identical to my original stuff - but when Chat came out I just entered the bullet points and let Chat do the long form writing for me.
The key with Chat is that you need to always validate any statements of fact (or code) - as hallucination is a pretty consistent 30% or so of the queries I send it. Google is probably used 75% of the time when I need to go double check a fact to make sure it's actually based on reality.
