Why ChatGPT Won't Replace Coders Just Yet

Is ChatGPT the beginning of the Star Trek vision: We'll just tell the computer what we want it to do? The short answer is: Not right now, and probably not any time soon. That's because the types of coding problems at which ChatGPT seems to excel are common ones. If you ask it to do something that's been done a ton of times before, then sure, it'll do a very good job. These have been coded a bajillion times before, and they're all online. OpenAI trained its models on all that existing code.
