ChatGPT is extremely useful if you already know what you're doing. It's garbage if you're relying on it to write code for you. There are nearly always bugs and edge cases and hallucinations and version mismatches.
It's also probably useful for looking like you kinda know what you're doing as a junior in a new project. I've seen some shit in code reviews that was clearly AI slop. Usually from exactly the developers you expect.
Yeah, I'm not even that down on using LLMs to search through and organize text that it was trained on. But in it's current iteration? It's fancy stack overflow, but stack overflow runs on like 6 servers. I'll be setting up some LLM stuff self hosted to play around with it, but I'm not ditching my brain's ability to write software any time soon.
