Great write up. My experience is spot on with your examples.

Absolutely right with the part of knowing the domain.
I do not entertain or care about the AI fantasies because ChatGPT is extremely good at getting me other information. It saves me from opening a new tab, formulating my query and then hunting for the information. I can save that extra time for what latest / relevant information I should grab from Google.
Google is still in my back pocket for the last mile verification and judgement. I am also skeptical of the information ChatGPT throws out (such as old links). Other than that, ChatGPT to me is as radical as putting the url and search bar into one input. I just move faster with the information.
