Then what's the point of it all if a hacker can still get into my account using the traditional methods? This seems to be just opening up another avenue of attack.
If I understand it correctly it will avoid phishing, assuming people notice there's something up when they see a page asking for a traditional login for no good reason when they have passkeys. And it may be a transitionary step towards no passwords or something.
My Google account is set up such that account recovery requires me to actually travel to Mountain View and present several forms of ID, and that's just how I want it to be.
I'm surprised with this response. I myself have found it extremely useful and ChatGPT has saved me tons of time with programming and non-programming tasks.

This is so general obviously it's not true. It's providing lots of value to lots of people. To me this sounds like someone with the goal of confirming their own biases.
What's my bias ? I want this to work - I want to expend less effort to do my job - so far the problems where ChatGPT would fit in the workflow it's taken me more time to fact check the plausible bullshit it generates than doing it the old fashioned way.
Copilot is way better at generating boilerplate.
The one task I did find it useful was converting model types to open API spec - out of trying to use it for a month.
Your bias is that you want it to do your job, but extrapolating that since it's no good at that (for whatever reason), that it's no good for anything and forgetting that there are many other jobs out there.
I agree with your general sentiment and have been slumming on r/singularity lately where there has been a ton of hype. One thing that I think I've gleaned from my reading the comments there, is that people who aren't as skilled at using search engines find ChatGPT to be magical.
To my way of thinking, crafting the perfect prompt is about the same, or more, effort than crafting the perfect Google search. In both cases I'll probably have to double check the sources if I want a critical analysis of the results.
It might be worth considering, for those that GPT is helping a lot, what are you using it for? And for those that GPT is not helping, what are you trying to do with it?
"Programming" is a pretty broad activity description. I can readily imagine that AI tools, trained on publicly-available data, would be more helpful with, say, Wordpress plugins than with flight control systems.
I never asked for figures, but he kept doing it despite being in a reasonably well paid job as social media manager for a restaurant chain.
Which brings to mind another of his tricks: He set up a lunch voucher trading scheme for all of the other restaurants in the little downtown area where he was based. He got to eat anywhere he liked every lunch time.
One of his employment perks was getting a free lunch from his restaurant every day. He soon got bored of it, so he designed and printed some home made lunch vouchers with his name on, and arranged for the front of house staff to accept them in lieu of payment. The understanding was that there would be no more than one per day for the days he didn't eat there. Then he went to all of the other restaurants and told their front of house staff that they could swap their own free lunches for his by letting him eat there in exchange for his vouchers. They could then eat at his restaurant for free on one of the next few days.
That was 10 years ago and I've never since met anyone with a better hustle than that guy.
