Memorization is absolutely the most valuable part of GPT, for me. I can get natural language responses to documentation, basic scripting / sysadmin, and API questions much more easily than searching other ways.

While this is an academic interest point, and rightly tamps down on hype around replacing humans, it doesn't dissuade what I think are most peoples' basic use case: "I don't know or don't remember how to do X, can you show me?"

This is finally a good enough "knowledge reference engine" that I can see being useful to those very people it is over hyped to replace.

I dunno, I use ChatGPT for exactly the same thing as you, and people are always quite surprised when I say that's its main value to me, so I think people have very different ideas of what it excels at
