Yeah I do it too and I’m easily 10x more productive than my other developers. I would bet all my possessions that a 12 year old with ChatGPT is a better coder than any “Senior dev”. Coding as a profession is completely obsolete. Get over it.

We've got a senior dev who uses ChatGPT for his code all the time. Right now I am currently fixing all the exceptions 'his code' pops. Well, I shouldn't say what his code pops. The code ChatGPT generated for him. He just asks ChatGPT, copy pasta, doesn't even run it and checks it in.

You sound like the guy I just had to fire after blowing his toes off several times.
If you think you are obsolete or faster than anyone else with these tools then you only naive enough to have lost your objectivity to the marketing. I deal with real risk and failures from the output of ChatGPT which have serious financial consequences. The first victim is always the developer, then the tester.
At best, it is very good at ousting people who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a damn computer.
How would the a 12 year old with ChatGPT recognize complicateed errors?
You still need experience to check the code not only the result otherwise you get this

Citation needed.
BTW if you believe you own words why are you still a developer?
You're obsolete and will be replaced by a 12 year old.
