ChatGPT is generative word salad with high accuracy. Your previous comment was somewhat doom and gloom without providing interesting content for discussion — like the conversation, output, and a running example as a peer mentioned. There wasn’t much interesting to discuss which hadn’t been said about chatgpt already.
Fwiw, I think it’s a force multiplier, not a replacement. It requires skill to determine the quality of the output, can raise the bar of inexperienced developers by producing output more quickly and accurately than they could, empowers experienced developers by generating boilerplate faster than they can, and can improve learning by providing examples for specific use cases.
But when it’s wrong, it has no idea. It often answers riddles with intuitive but wrong answers. It provides code that doesn’t compile. Explains answers with logic that is entirely wrong. Push it and you’ll see.
It’s impressive but not apocalyptic. See another highly ranked post on the idea of “AGI hard” if you think I’m moving goalposts.
