Right, it’s a tool with quirks, techniques and skills to use just like any other tool. ChatGPT has definitely saved me time and on at least one occasion, kept me from missing a deadline that I probably would have missed if I went about it “the old way” lmao
Why? If you know how to incorporate “boilerplate” and modify it correctly into your own code, what difference does it make if its from ChatGPT or Stackoverflow?
Trying to make real and good use of AI generative models are cracks in the magic.
It’s pretty useful if you know exactly what you want and how to work within it’s limitations.
Coworkers around me already use ChatGPT to generate code snippets for Python, Excel VBA, etc. to good success.

Difference to copy and paste from stackoverflow, probably not terribly much. The latter is already bad.
It’s as if the young’uns heard the term “10x developer” and decided that not understanding what you’re doing is the way to get there.
