No. GPT outputs text, it does not think, it can't negotiate trade-offs of solutions, it cannot communicate with stakeholders about risks or technical issues of current implementations, it may not understand the context of future/other work other people are doing, etc. An analogy that might work (apologies if this is off base): GPT might output helpful text for a grant you may be writing but I assume there is a whole set of many other activities like proposing the project, schmoozing the Dean (is that a thing?, lol), managing funding, materials, running experiments, etc. for scientific work than the act of typing up a grant proposal.

Coding (physically typing a solution) is a small percentage of a professional software engineer's time. Tools already exist to generate code, to find answers (stack overflow), etc. GPT will be another tool to help developers but much like stack overflow answers, you have to do some diverse research to make sure you're not getting BS or tangential but useless information. GPT can be confidently and completely wrong.

Then there are the legality concerns of sending Intellectual Property to a giant void that may output that IP to other parties. Its not a concern of mine, personally, but its a concern for the legal entity (aka corporation) that employs me.
