Are you asking specific questions, or just asking it to generate fluff and "small talk"? In my experience, it gets a lot of things wrong when you ask specific stuff.
For example: some time ago twitch had a problem with the website and app were the chat of all streams stopped working if you refreshed the page. I went to ChatGPT and asked it to give me a script to send comments to any chat using the twitch api, in python.
It gave me a normal looking script, that looked mostly alright (I wish I could post it here, but sadly ChatGPT is unavailable RN). There was only one problem: it used a package that didn't exist (which basically makes the entire answer useless). That's because there are a multitude of tutorials that use packages to do similar things, which were probably used as training data. Since ChatGPT doesn't really know anything, it generated similar looking fluff with no real substance.
I've had similar experience when asking it to refactor code and to simplify equations.
