I don't think it is the same. I didn't memoriza Python sintaxy or the name of every function or how to do small things. I use Google for that. But I know what I need to do in the best possible way (at least that's what I am pay for!). Should I set this variable here? Should this method be private? Should I design an interface or a public class? A dict or a dataclass? That's what I have to decide as an engineer and where my value resides. If ChatGPT only replaces the memorization part, that would be OK, but it replaces a lot more of it that requires the people using it not to question themselves the things I mentioned before. I had a bet with a friend, he has no knowledge of programming and was convinced he could make an online game (!) using only ChatGPT. He said one month was going to be enough. Of course, a few months have passed already and he is way off. He asks the questions that a non-programmer would ask, and what ChatGPT gives him back is not usable, not thought for the future, not easily modifiable, etc. His code is a Frankestein that won't do anything good.
