GPT can read and understand both code and the comments about 1000x faster than a human.
It's not just about the code it can generate out of a vacuum, it can also understand code for you.
I use it to generate doc-comments, check for differences between the comment and the code, or to explain code I'm not familiar with and don't understand myself.
E.g.: I don't use Python and I had to figure out what a spaghetti-code Python script actually did. I fed it to GPT 4 and started asking questions. That's way faster than learning Python first and then deciphering the script.
