> I’ve seen examples of “write an email to my boss”. It would take me longer to explain to ChatGPT what I want than to write these myself.

You can integrate ChatGPT here to help with the proofreading and editing. If you have a list of points, you have have ChatGPT write an email, then integrate its changes. This is useful especially if English is not your first language. ([append]) Here's a quick example. These emails aren't great, but might be better than what I can come up with myself in 2 minutes. https://pastebin.com/dD22gR4y

> I’ve seen “write a snippet of code” demos. But I hardly care about this compared to designing a good API; or designing software that is testable, extensible, maintainable, and follows reasonable design principles.

It's super helpful when starting in a new space. I needed to write a python data munging script the other day. Using a few ChatGPT queries I found dependencies and understood the basics of using them. I still had to check the docs, but I jumped past the "tutorial" and straight to "API reference".

> In fact, no one in my extended sphere of friends and family has asked me anything about chatGPT, midjourney, or any of these other models. The only people I hear about these models from are other tech people.

Counter-anecdote, I met two copywriters working for media publications (non-tech) who both have had GPT-based services integrated into their workflows by the company management.
