I think that many people will treat it as something that can generate entire blocks of code. Unfortunately it can be quite broken even just writing basic functions. One of my tests was doing some quaternion rotations. It did them, but refused to stop multiplying by the conjugate afterwards.
Another was converting dates to "years ago", which was broken for BCE because ChatGPT doesn't understand the underlying concept.

It basically can’t unless you’re only building a toy app. Even after multiple levels of refinement it still requires tons of real programming work. Which is largely my point, it won’t because it’s fundamentally incapable of providing that in its current state. Even without the buggy part it’s mostly just outputs generic stuff that will always need to be integrated into the wider codebase and to specifically what you’re trying to build.

Obviously I'm still doing manual interventions at key points, but it's changed my personal cost/benefit calculation on whether various random ideas are worth doing.
