Asking ChatGPT to write my security-sensitive code for me

So GPT is simultaneously taking credit for other people’s work and a threat to open source software but also incompetent and not a threat to anyone’s job?

Never used it but this isn't exactly impossible, it's like having an essay due and you copy and paste chunks from the internet in a way that doesn't make sense as a whole and contains errors

Only it is nothing like this.

What’s strange is how little effort it would take for you to use these tools. What I don’t find strange is that you feel confident having an opinion about this regardless of your lack of experience.

I think it's more like, "when it gets code correct, that code is probably stolen from someone."

Maybe it’s because I’m not a CS person by trade, but the whole idea of stolen code is so stupid. There’s only a couple ways to write a function to do X, just because some asshole did it first and put it on GitHub, I’m stealing if I write the same function? Fuck off

Luckily the court system has agreed with your sentiments since the 19th century so I wouldn’t worry too much!
