In general we would like developers/engineers to know as much as possible about the things they're engineering. ChatGPT-based development encourages the opposite.

So because ChatGPT exists now, less experienced programmers will be hired to developed critical software under the assumption that they can use ChatGPT to fill the gaps in their knowledge?

Even in that case, I would argue that is entirely a problem of the process, and should be fixed at that level. An experienced programmer doesn't become any less experienced just because they use ChatGPT.
