GPT-4 is phenomenal at Code

Programmers' solutions aren't all objective, or at least shouldn't be. Simple tasks are. In some cases people are using overly low-level tooling, creating a lot of repetitive work that the AI would do better, and they might be at risk.

Objectively correct in the sense that we need 2+2 to equal 4 and we don't care how you got there kind of objectively correct.

Whereas an artist might need 2+2 to equal apple, and we can only subjectively solve for why or how.

End-user-facing software is apparently close to art. You're trying to solve a human problem and make it pretty. But even deep backend stuff is largely designed and built around how people understand tasks.

I do look forward to ChatGPT telling me why my C++ code won't link, though.
