I like to tinker with it and occasionally use it. But I still don't rely on it. And it's not really part of my every day life. I use google (and skip the AI summary) instead of asking some Alexa or assistant. I can operate my toaster myself and read news articles and find facts myself.
I think it's super useful for translation, automate some stuff, computer vision, robotics, text to speech and so on... Chatbots are a bit meh and have limited application. I use them to spark my creativity but not to execute tasks.
AI is predicted to be quite disruptive and to have a big impact on the world and society. I'm pretty sure that's true and soon all the internet is flooded with AI slop. We can't tell if something is real or fabricated... And art and things with a human touch have to figure out how to survive.
I don't panic. Humanity always found ways to deal with stuff. And we have like a bazillion other serious issues like social media, climate change, fascists on the rise... I wouldn't even know what to panic about first.
Edit: And I'm really impressed by the scientific progress and the pace we went from very stupid AI to now human-like voice, pictures, even video and all you need to tell is what you want in human language. That's some crazy fast advancement.
But what I definitely worry about is this tech being mainly in the hands of big mega corporations. That's not good at all. And it's going to be benefit them and harm the people, unless we regulate this.
Learning languages is a different story now that you can basically chat to a bot all day in your target language.
How have I never thought of this?
I want to get some real practice in, but social anxiety is a huge roadblock.
