Maybe it will, but we're not even close yet. I've tried so many times to get ChatGPT to generate code and every time it produces something that looks like code, looks like it would work but doesn't work - for fundamental reasons, like it's made up APIs that don't exist. It might make getting some small functions or one liners in place quicker, especially for someone in a language they're unfamiliar with. But IME it falls apart pretty quickly and can cost you a lot more time figuring out why its fantasy code doesn't actually have a hope.
