For me, it's a stack overflow ++, but is also hit or miss.
Common experience: I want to make a simple change to this bash script. Seems simple enough to ask GPT-4. It produces some piece of code, seems to do the job. Code review -> you don't handle this corner case. Shit. GPT-4, what's wrong? answer is suspicious... A couple of "man" later, I got it. Basically, it made me lose 30 minutes. I could have lost 30mn more if had insisted to get the answer from it.
I'm not saying it's not useful, but it's not the graal that will save us from learning our craft.
