    my attitude exactly. In a few years there will be articles like "Using ChatGPT results in project failure 90% of the time."

      So just another reason for the doom sayers to abandon programming completely. Get out now! Certainly by the end of the year it will all be over. Then I can look forward to asking even more money since the pool of programmers is shrinking. ChatGPT becomes ChatRepair to automate bug fixing for less • The Register[^]

      They seem to underestimate how clever we bug writers are.

        does ChatGPT program itself? Does it control the power to the server it runs on? Who's the boss?

                  In a few years? I would say more in a few months. EDIT: I should have read the other answers before... someone already said weeks :-D Here in Germany there is an article explaining how ChatGPT has wrongly "sentenced" a professor guilty of sexual harassment

                  M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                    The other 10% will simply bury the failure in a corporate reorganization.

                      ha, truth. Clearly I'm not thinking properly. In the never ending hunt for free code (meaning management need not staff an engineering department) I suspect the thought is I can get most of this written and then let kiddies debug it. But there are two sides to the coin. If "AI" can write code, it can also generate bugs as fast. It should be entertaining.

                                That reminds me, years ago my boss asked why I wanted a faster PC. I said so I could make errors in microseconds, where it took me milliseconds before!
