My Take

ChatGPT can be very helpful in specific situations. While I initially used it to check the grammar of my writing, I quickly found that it often would rewrite my work and make it sound very robotic or overly pedantic. I do find it to be very helpful resource when I'm coding. I often use ChatGPT to double check my code and spot syntax errors, memory leaks, etc. It's also quite good at spotting bugs that often escape my notice.
However, despite these positives, I still wouldn't overly rely on it. ChatGPT frequently provides incorrect information and if you weren't familiar with a subject, you might not be able to spot it. It can also weaken your own skills if you become overly reliant.

How I Use It

I've used ChatGPT a couple of times since it was released. I haven't used it to generate any original content. I initially used it to check the grammar of some of my writing but nowadays I mainly use it to spot any syntax errors in my code or to spot an issue in it if I'm really stuck.
