The author is playing with fire.
I also have used ChatGPT for coding and it hallucinated APIs, twice now, that sent me researching down a rabbit hole.
When I have asked it to do things I know how to do and how to evaluate, it has sometimes given very good answers. Other times it misunderstood the problem in a subtle way— and if I hadn’t known enough I would have accepted a program that performed the wrong analysis.
If you have to accept the quality of the solution on faith you are playing russian roullette with your reputation.
I asked a student to analyze the randomness of set of data. He got a program from ChatGPT without knowing anything about how statistical testing for randomness works. He thus accepted a program from the bot that was hilariously unreliable.
