Uh no, ChatGPT is good as being a better (contextual) search engine, a rubber duck that explain code to you (which stil bad but keep improving), and a mid-level code generator junkies that can generate crud operation, unit tests or transpile code between language.

All of it will reduce mental load for senior devs and enable them to tackle more problems or more difficult problems.

Not really though, at least not yet. I've seen some impressive results for trivial cases: the type of thing you'd see blogged on new web devs blog 10x over, but I've yet to see anything that wasn't trivial and worked come out of GPT.
