Yes, ChatGPT can't do all the work for you. You have to do the work to test the code thoroughly and think of edge cases and possible tradeoffs and all those other subtleties.
But contrast this with other types of information. If I ask ChatGPT "how hot is the surface of the sun?" and it answers "15 million degrees Fahrenheit", I really have no way to tell if it's right or wrong. As a result, I really don't find ChatGPT useful for these sorts of questions.

(The example answer is wrong according to https://www.space.com/17137-how-hot-is-the-sun.html, albeit in such a way that I could see potentially confusing an LLM.)
