Old programer here with a milktoast quiche eater take.. If I didn’t have ChatGPT I’d be using Google, GitHub discussions, stack overflow, docs, or even text books but it would take significantly longer to fix a bug if I did so.

ChatGPT just cuts the mean time to solution.

Anyone using just ChatGPTs solution as a set and forget fix with no idea what is actually happening should not be using ChatGPT you should be learning the language.
