Due to the nature of my current work I haven't really used GPT for coding yet, but I keep wondering isn't it easier to write code than to read and truly understand it? So how much development time was really saved, if I still care about off-by-one errors or correct identity checks in hash maps or all those edge cases I probably should care about? Those are all things much harder to spot reading than writing the code.So I keep wondering if we just save time by introducing more unknown bugs using GPT?
I guess this also has a lot to do with what code is written. I would be much more concerned with a system level C++ library than some JavaScript CRUD.

Gpt-4 often handles errors well. The generated code is easy to review if you understand what you asked for (if it generates tests and examples too-which it can). Etc
