I didn’t make that assertion. My fears are based on the speed that code of unknown quality, which is also poorly understood can be produced. I specifically said:

Granted, us humans are doing that now. Just many orders of magnitude slower. Probably slow enough that we can find/fix the important stuff.

This actually seems like a great use case. Read and flag potential bugs for review. Although if it wrote the code in the first place how would it identify the bug? What it produced was something close to the most likely result given what it has seen so far

Personally, I’M terrified of people using ChatGPT for serious coding work. They will be seeding the future with vulnerable/buggy software that no one understands.

Granted, us humans are doing that now. Just many orders of magnitude slower. Probably slow enough that we can find/fix the important stuff.

The other aspect that terrifies me is the potential for nation state entities with deep pockets to inject vulnerabilities. What would it be worth to the NSA to seed the future with programs they could exploit?

You should check out poetry. It has greatly simplified almost all of what you have mentioned
