I doubt it and certainly not for anything beyond basic. I've seen (and tried GPT's for code input a lot) and often they come back with errors or weird implementations.
I made one request yesterday for a linear regression function (yes, because I was being lazy). So was chatGPT... It spat out a trashy broken function that wasn't even remotely close to working - more along the lines of pseudo code.
I complained saying "WTH, that doesn't even work" and it said "my apologies" and spits out a perfectly working accurate function! Go figure.
