I do think its worth wondering about, BUT
* Most non trivial systems are complex, thousands of lines, many systems working together, solving complex domain-specific problems and not toy examples we can produce from ChatGPT
* CoPilot and ChatGPT introduce subtle bugs, so to use thes for code generation, you'd have to write many tests. A LOT of tests to confirm it worked. At a minimum this requires careful thought
* Getting the prompt to do very subtle things right seems time consuming. Why not just write the code (perhaps with guidance from AI)?
Maybe its a fun way to get started, and more convenient than a search engine, but I'm not convinced YET you can make it do anything non trivial without a lot of work and conversation with ChatGPT.
