As someone who checked it out for physics here's my experience:

Anything that could easily be found and be correct that would be found on chegg, would be easily repeated by chatgpt, and with usually clearer solutions that was easier for slightly different problem prompts.

Anything that could not be well answered by chatgpt likely would not have a good solution on chegg, being either outright wrong, or extremely confusing as an answer.

Yeah I'm sure I'd probably be using chatgpt these days if I were still in school instead of paying the frankly stupid amount Chegg cost.

I imagine it varies quite a bit depending on the subject and who's doing the answers. There were 3 or 4 answer authors that I learned to recognize as consistently quite good in the areas I needed it in.
