It will not be wasted or forgotten. The cat's out of the bag. You can run it locally on your machine. It can summarize text for you, it can help you write boilerplate code, it can help you find that file with that thing that you don't quite remember, it can create a poem about your left nut. The tech already has proven useful, it's about where you use it.
