The funny thing is I've had the exact same experience as the author but come to the completely opposite conclusion. Working with ChatGPT as a daily driver isn't for me precisely because of this:
>I have had to be very attentive because it sometimes produces code that runs but does not do what I asked
It's like someone putting sand on your toothbrush and in your shoes. The subtle way it messes up are in many ways worse and require more attention than dumber tools. It's even worse than humans because the ways in which it fabricates nonsense aren't the kind of mistakes a human makes, it's not like you're coding with an intern but like you're coding with ALF.
The constant context switching between "it's nice" and "it's sabotaging random things" is so taxing if you don't want to mess up. It's like self-driving that way. An automated system that works 95% is worse than one that works 20% of the time.
