The thing is, you have to know how to code well enough to know how useful the "code" ChatGPT generates is. And I put code in quotes because it's important to realize that AI doesn't know what "code" is, it just knows what syntactically likely strings are. So it might make up libraries that don't exist or write functions that don't work or don't even follow the semantics of the language, it's just spitting out something that "looks like code."
Much of the time, and for simple enough tasks for which there exists enough examples in the training data, what it produces might be useful. But it can also be wrong in subtle, non-obvious ways. But if you don't know anything about coding and just don't want to pay people for their time and skill, nothing is obvious.
