This is my take as well. I'm a programmer and recently took a new job that uses a language I've never used before (PHP). I've been using ChatGpt all the time to help me write code, and it's been very helpful but also does some wrong/weird stuff. I also have enough general programming knowledge to be really specific with what I want it to do, which helps a lot in getting better responses. It's not doing anything I couldn't do myself by reading the language documentation and a lot of Google searches, but it definitely saves time compared to that approach.


I'm not sure what version 5 or beyond will bring, but right now I see this as just another new tool in the tool belt. You'd be silly to ignore it, but it won't take your job at this point.
