I can only speak to my experience using ChatGPT. But it’s doing a lot more than copying and pasting code snippets it finds on the internet. It actually is translating English to code. I had a “DevOps” project I was working on creating deployment process using AWS technologies (disclaimer: where I work in Professional Services). I needed a few relatively simple Python scripts. I first asked ChatGPT: “given a JSON file like this [{“company”:”${company}”} replace the word surrounded by ${} with the equivalent environment variables using Python”. It worked perfectly. But it hardcoded the input file. “Modify the script to accept the input file using a command line argument -json-file using argparse” That worked and used the “required=true” parameter. “Instead of skipping replacement if an environment variable is not found, raise an exception”. And it seems to understand the AWS SDK. I told it to convert a script I wrote to a CloudFormation custom resource using the cfnresponse module and it knew the correct Lambda event structure, the event format etc. I have seen reports and have witnessed it making up functions occasionally. But, I believe with the right prompts, it should be able to create simple CRUD scripts.
