> I haven't seen or heard of anyone that seriously uses ChatGPT to generate code and uses it in prod
I would agree with this in general. The main goal here is to optimize the "editor experience". When I personally code, I'll have ChatGPT pulled up on the side in case I need to reference it for speed. Some examples of how I might use it are:
- add some tests for me to review
- take an existing piece of code and modify it in some way
- help me think of ways in which I can write some code if I'm lazy that day.
This would generate code that after I iterate on it would need to be reviewed which speaks to your point, "you'll need to have an engineer at least look over the code anyway" which I agree with.
The main goal is to have it there as a resource to pair program with rather than trusting it without review/input.
