"ChatGpt is really good if you use it properly"

Gets torrents of down votes every time. But I literally use it a lot at work and it's brilliant.

Depends what you use it for. If you are trying to provide something informational, I do not trust chat gpt.

If you use it to respond to work emails because they force communication for the sake of communication, then its fine.

Conveniently built in to your headset, you can use the spanner to adjust bolt tightness on-the-go!

Okay, but that's not wh-

We're proud to be leading the market in spanner-augmented products to bring a new level of convenience to your life.

...

Spanner may sometimes only appear to tighten bolts. Please don't ask us the energy cost of manufacturing the spanner.

Spanners?

British English term for wrenches.

North American term for English Wenches. I think Hoe's are another tool misused in this manner.

If you only use it for cheating in work that won't be read by a human anyways, it's great!
