Yes. Asking ChatGPT to assume a persona and rewrite content, it performs significantly better than davinci in my tests. I was able to get "good enough" with a lot of prompt engineering on davinci - but ChatGPT is a shoulder above with less investment in prompt engineering.

On the flip side - I get hand swatted by ChatGPT more frequently than davinci. Davinci's moderation filters don't really pick up on much, but ChatGPT will give me a lecture instead of a translation on a lot of occasions. There are many valid use cases for rewriting/editing content that involve graphic details that davinci will gladly handle and ChatGPT will give you a lecture about.

Human existence is messy. ChatGPT doesn't like the messy.
