I think often of the adage "it's harder to read code than write it". GPT gives you a lot to read. definitely a better consultant than coder imo. I've also had GPT write entirely false things, then I say "isn't that false?" and it says, "yes sorry about that" . very uncanny
And the code that GPT does write, if it is even close to correct, must be code that exists in many places already, and usually (like the case of so much react code) doesn’t need to exist at all.
