Are your expectations that all of society should just stop their day-to-day lives and use AI for everything??

"...ChatGPT has rolled out and the masses have been exposed to the power of AI"

The "masses" have not been exposed to the power of AI. First off, the ChatGPT system as it exists (version 3.5) is more or less a function prototype. Sure, there are many cool things that we can accomplish with it. But it is far from ready to take over things.

There are generally 5 stages for technology adoption: Innovators. Early Adopters. Early Majority. Late Majority. Laggards. I think we are somewhere between the "Innovators" and "Early Adopters" phases.

What is going to get us into the next phase will be the integration into common tools. This will be supported by Microsoft, Google, and others.

This somewhat follows the adoption of the Internet when it because publicly available in the early 1990s. You didn't see companies closing their storefronts to jump on the internet. It took the tinkerers to develop tools and standards. Companies eventually took the leap and published simple websites with static information mostly with address and phone numbers to their storefronts. It was a long time before things because more ubiquitous in our lives.
