I think knowing if the code can be used verbatim is actually the more important part practically speaking. That is the actually useful part.
Quality is important to humans, because humans have to read it, but correctness is what people using ChatGPT for code actually need. So long as the quality and performance is good enough, then it will be useful.
Performance is such a nuanced topic that you need very context aware devs anyway, and I think a general purpose LLM is never going to have that kind of awareness.

- ineedasername 3y agoYes, when ChatGPT went public using 3 I was like, “Hah, yeah, that can’t come close to writing the narrative portions in my work.” Then 4 came along and it was more like, “ooh, a basic first draft in 15 seconds? That I can work with.” Now, at least for some projects, I can give it a few rapid bullet points in incomplete sentences and have that first draft in seconds, after which I just need to tweak, add in tables and more detailed stats & results, etc. quite useful.
