What is the competitive advantage of using chatbots, exactly?

Any advantage from ML that I can think of comes from advanced applications that require pre-existing knowledge, like biotech, metamaterials, etc.

— I fail to see how being able to use ML to cheat on a test or to avoid learning something (including command of own language) provides an advantage.

— I can see how requiring an LLM trained on unlicensed work to be opened up and free for everyone to use could provide an advantage.

— I can see how lack of regulation in this industry could result in a quick reduction of the number of jobs in a number of industries and therefore be a disadvantage to the economy, in the worst case benefiting a small number of for-profit corporate operators.
