I am convinced that ChatGPT works multiplicatively. You need to ask the right questions and be able to quickly understand the output. Those skills come from experienced developers.

ChatGPT, if anything, will greatly reduce the amount of banalities as those are obviously easier to automate. The people writing banalities now are the ones which the least experience and skills.

The more senior you are the more broader you control the code, deciding on abstractions, interfaces and features. This is obviously something ChatGPT is horrible at and giving someone with 6 months of experience and ChatGPT the ability to decide on that will lead to disaster.
