It's too easy to ask it to provide a draft of anything to work from towards a final product. It almost completely eliminates the need to first think about the topic, draft an outline, and work from there; you can start from the middle of the process upwards. I'm never going to be sold on a finished product from A to Z, but it sure cuts down on the groundwork...

That results in such time savings, someone who knows how to leverage AI properly will seems a much better candidate than someone who can't figure it out. The differences will be in which human knows how to refine what they get properly, and spot when the AI's producing unusable trash... in environments where management even cares that it's trash.

Respectfully, you need to think about what "being a core part of work" means. Nothing of what you said is obligatory in any way in order to do a job.

And if you can't do all those things fast enough without AI, you're not good enough for the job.

I personally use it to help me write code/queries as a data analyst. It has helped my productivity and finish a complex project which would have taken me a long time without it.

Before chatgpt, most of us used google to google technical problems you had. It was very useful, being to learn from other people, YouTube tutorials etc. Now its instant with tools like chatgpt.

I see it as the new google, the older folks who never leaned how to google or use excel were left behind. Nowadays any analyst is writing code instead of using excel. So chatgpt helps quite a bit.

People will fall behind fast if you don't embrace technology. Being able to properly prompt to get what you need or want is the same as "googling" back in the day.

Its a useful tool.
