The thing that makes ChatGPT (especially 4) great though is that everything is hyper customized to you and, given a little prompt context (which is pretty trivial to automate and will be built right in to our tools one way or another), it can produce working code that fits your exact needs extremely rapidly.

e.g., if I type into google, "Build me a React component todo list that loads its data using fetch() to /api/v1/todos and is styled with Tailwind", I'm going to get a bunch of stuff that I can maybe use, if I invest 15 minutes wading through cancer-inducing blogs. Whereas at least for trivial problems, ChatGPT just tesseracts something that's extremely close and you copy-paste it in, change a few things, boom, component done. Something doesn't work? Often a follow up message fixes it.
