ChatGPT could help this dev if they understood the problems they are trying to solve. That is such a fundamental flaw in this. They will be on a PIP and out of a job in any respectable workplace. That would be a mercy.

I won’t be surprised if that guy is ChatGPT’s main audience.

Personally I can’t see how it would be faster to ask ChatGPT for an answer then carefully scrutinize the output to make sure I understand what it’s doing. Code is often easier to write than read - especially when it’s not your code.

In hindsight the solution is obvious, just run the code without reading it then try to fix it if it doesn’t produce acceptable results.
