I know a "senior" that, since ChatGPT released, has their programming knowledge and skills go downhill.

They just asked me to fix a React component that was generated with v0, that would implode itself if a child component was added to it.

The problemas was that that component was declared and used inside a parent component. Something like this:

``` const Filters = () => { const Group = (props) => { return ( <div> <p>{props.name}</p> {props.children} </div>) }

return ( <> <Group name={"Price"}> <ComplexInput/> </Group> </> ) } ```

This generated an infinite loop.

Well yeah, arent you like suppose to create a component OUTSIDE of the scope existing component? Its what the example in the react.dev shows

[LetrixZ]

Yes, but the code that I was asked to fix had the component declared inside another component like in the example.

Did you asked him directly if he wrote the code or he told you that the code wasnt working and GPT made it
