Based on your statement, I feel you haven't used GPT based code much. The code it generates is generally beautifully organized and commented. Sure, it can be flat out wrong, but it is always eminently readable. Self-documentating code with clean comments, far above the standard I see on average human code. That's about as good as "explaining it's reasoning" as you get. Also, you can literally ask chatGPT to explain the code, line by the line, and it will. So there's that. Is it ready now? Certainly not if it will be expected to the do the entire job of a SWE. But it is already extremely useful, especially to less experienced devs as both a production for specific tasks and as learning tool. And it will only get better.
