What it’s good at this year vs bad at

A working picture for 2026. Not a prophecy.

Skip the leaderboard. Use this split while you learn. It will drift. The split itself is the point: some jobs fit a pattern machine, some do not.

Usually good at

  • Drafts from material you already have (a message, a listing, a paragraph).
  • Rewrites: shorter, kinder, clearer — if you keep the facts.
  • Summaries of text you pasted, not of the whole internet.
  • Checklists, outlines, and “explain this like I’m new.”
  • Rubber-ducking: talking a problem through out loud.

Usually bad at

  • Live facts it was not given (prices, who won, what the law is today).
  • Your private numbers, medical file, or legal case as a substitute for a professional.
  • Citations it invents. Links that look real. Quotes it “remembers.”
  • Anything you would bet money, reputation, or someone’s safety on — unless you check.
