The new chips coming out this summer are 25-30x more efficient, generating an image isn't so bad... but AI gets a lot more complicated than an image. When you want it to do stuff like cure cancer by examing all 3 billion of your specific dna pairs, or automatically creating a piece of software or video game, etc

In real life those games take hundreds of people like 8 years to make, so even if AI can do it quickly, yeah its using a lot of brain power.

Which version of ChatGPT did you use?

Let me check. It was the first free one: 3.5. I'd be curious if someone with an upgraded version got the same answers, about Bach, prison, and the Well-Tempered Clavier (book 1). I think what might have confused it is that, although it is a cool and common story, that the WTC was composed in prison, there is only one bit of scant evidence for It. Here is Christoph Wolff, from Johan Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician;

Claude is free and better than GPT 3.5, but if its serious research, then none of them are "reliable"
I've tried using GPT 4 for learning history and then end up looking dumb quoting wrong facts.
