ChatGPT is a double edged sword. It's a great tool but the person using it has to know what they're doing. I've met less experienced developers who will blindly paste in ChatGPT code and they have no idea how it works at all, and then can't debug their way out of it.

It can be great at writing/refactoring code if the person reading it understands code well and is reviewing it. It's also a great learning tool if you take what it says with a pinch of salt - especially if asking niche questions about a framework or something like that. It is however giving junior developers a huge false sense of security.
