Since you're gonna have to search Stackoverflow anyway to verify that ChatGPT didn't hallucinate garbage, I'm very dubious that it actually saves any time, let alone "massive" amounts of it.

Just ask it to write unit tests for you and run the code to see if it's garbage. Faster than trying to verify by looking through the sources

So... use the garbage-generating AI to generate garbage unit tests to see if its other garbage code checks out? Sounds like a vortex of stupidity.
