I'm a coder with 30 years of experience and I'm also excited about the potential of ChatGPT to help with my work. However, it's very important to remember to double-check the code it generates for accuracy.

Especially for anything that is not boilerplate or tutorial level, I've seen a lot of mechanically incorrect and unhelpful code generated.

This has been my experience. I've attempted to use ChatGPC 4 times to generate a functions or classes with various levels of complexity and every time it has produced incorrect code. It often fabricates functions, classes, or entire libraries and the few times it produced regular expression the regexp didn't actually do what ChatGPT thinks it will do.
