Most of the stuff I've seen (ChatGPT generated) posted here so far wont; even compile - and when it does the OP normally comments that it doesn't work. The AI will get better though - give it a decade or so and it'll be able to do the "grunt work" if not design full systems.

I tried out ChatGPT and asked it to simply: how can I make tabbed content using bootstrap? [see getbootstrap.com - CSS HTML designs] It created a solution that contained an non-existent version of Bootstrap. I was completely puzzled by that. Why / How did it create a link to a non-existent bootstrap code -- used a CDN link that didn't exist? :confused: I told the AI that the version didn't exist and it attempted to create sample code with a version that does indeed exist. But this time it stopped in the middle of typing the example. ??? I explained that it was not a complete example & it apologized and did create sample code. however, when I attempted to run the code (HTML & CSS) the browser couldn't even render it. This is a fairly simple thing to do. (You can see a working sample at this jsfiddle if you like[^].) I created that sample long ago. I then attempted to direct the AI by saying, "Check out the code at <link> to help you solve the problem." But in the end it couldn't even do this simple thing. I'm sure in a year or maybe less it will be able to do it.

People will wind up writing crappier code because the won't check the code that's generated. Maybe it would run in isolation, but chances are it will have side affects as part of something bigger.

Well there is already a serious problem with cut/paste of source without understanding it. Now we'll get AI generated code, but how does one support this? If it's safety critical, who is legally responsible? This is a version of the self driving car issue.

"Coding from spec" is grunt work. I used to do the analysis, design and pseudo code; my team would then complain that they had nothing "to do" (i.e. the freedom to go off the rails). I can see AI generating code from "a spec" ... I don't see it creating a spec for a new system that doesn't fall into a neat category like "payroll" without a lot of "prompting" (i.e. domain knowledge transfer).
