"That's a great writeup, Abela.
The section of weaknesses is extremely important, and what sets ChatGPT aside as not a tutor/teacher. It actually has zero clue whether the results it returns are even close to the truth or just words it threw together because it matches the question.
It's also equally bad at word math and often responds with obviously incorrect answers, and has no logic to correct itself.
Why?
Because it's not an AI.
The concept of AI is being diluted every day.
It's a language robot with a strong Machine Learning engine and knows absolutely nothing about anything it hasn't already read.
It can't, like a human can, make a connection between two seemingly unrelated things and come up with an original idea.
Original text, yes, but that's not the same as an original idea.
But it absolutely kills at brain dead assignments like "write 400 words about whatever", and an unknowing reader will think it looks great.

However, it could also be 20 (yes, twenty) words about "whatever", and the rest is just talk, talk, talk. Because, again, it doesn't know what it's doing. It's just throwing together words that it's guessing fit together, because it has seen them in another piece of text, and it matches the current flow of the text it's putting together.
It's a great tool to get started writing, or to find "known" solutions to coding or text-based questions, but nobody can trust the result, because it can be 100% wrong, but it will not be presented as anything but correct.
So do not run any complex code it gives you without first evaluating all of it. And teach your colleagues and students about how genuinely stupid the robot actually is.
It's not a "Google killer" (today) because it doesn't have free access to the Internet, so it can only answer questions about static/historic matters - nothing about current events, and a Google search also doesn't pretend to give you the truth or only answer to your question. It simply says "Hey, this looks like what you are looking for - check it out. Oh, there's more over here, maybe a little less accurate match, but could still be interesting."
If the ML has had access to exactly the text (or texts about the things) you are asking about, then there's a good chance it'll give you a good to very good answer, written in a way that makes it easy to understand. The strength of the engine here is that this answer may very well not be a direct quote but a decent rewrite of the original text.
And this is where assessing such an essay written at home (actually, even when at school, but outside of a locked down exam platform) becomes pointless.
The sad thing is that it always was.
We/Teachers just chose to ignore it.
Now that the access has been democratised, we're changing the rules, and de facto (briefly) punishing the less affluent. But, hopefully, we're also making future assessment more equal, as the more affluent methods are also being thwarted, as an indirect effect.
Oh, what if I told you all of this was written by ChatGPT?!
