In my tinkering with ChatGPT, I feel like I could rely on it approximately as I would rely on Stack Overflow. It may well offer me some good help on specific blocks of code -- largely serving as supplementary documentation -- but I wouldn't expect to be able to just ask it for an application and turn around and sell whatever it types out.
I mean, sure, like, I can imagine it could write some small applications, but only simple things that have been done over and over and that it can rehash based on its (admittedly massive) input data. Like maybe it could write a basic blogging application. But I doubt it could write a flight management application, much less adequately verify that it functions correctly and keep it up to date with the latest FAA regulations and navigation databases.
(On that note, since I do in fact work in aerospace ... considering how hard it is to certify any automated tools to use in avionics software development, I don't even want to think about how hard it would be to certify ChatGPT to churn out trustworthy avionics code!)

I'm in the automotive industry and couldn't imagine it being used there either. I think companies who build tools like ChatGPT would be happy to leave it that way.
