The people who complain about how they no longer can get answers on how to eliminate juice in the style of Hitler are people who are - to be honest - completely missing the point of this revolution.
ChatGPT is the biggest developer productivity booster I have ever seen and I spend so much more time writing valuable code. Less time spent debugging, less time spent reviewing, etc. means more time for development of things that matter.
Each tech company who just saw massive growth over the past 10-15 years have just received a new toy which will multiply their developer's outputs. There will be a clear difference between companies who manage to do this will and those who won't.
It's irrelevant if I can get ChatGPT to write a poem about poop or not. That's not the goal of this tool.
I’m a developer and have used ChatGPT pretty extensively over the last few months.
Whenever I give it a programming task that’s more complicated than what you would see at a bootcamp “from zero to job in two weeks”, it completely fails, and me babysitting it through fixing all of the issues takes longer than me writing it in the first place.
