I use it many times a day for coding and solving technical issues. But I don't recognize what the article talks about at all. There's nothing affective about my conversations, other than the fact that using typical human expression (like "thank you") seems to increase the chances of good responses. Which is not surprising since it better matches the patterns that you want to evoke in the training data.
That said, yeah of course I become "addicted" to it and have a harder time coping without it, because it's part of my workflow just like Google. How well would anybody be able to do things in tech or even life in general without a search engine? ChatGPT is just a refinement of that.
