The best description I've heard is that ChatGPT is like a really fast and really eager junior programmer. Sure you can delegate a lot of work to it, but you have to keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn't go off the rails (and doesn't forget to take corner cases into account, uses appropriate algorithms, etc) .
I tend to read along with the code it's writing and make suggestions when I see it's missing stuff, or I fill it in myself afterwards, depending. For one it can type out the annoying bits much faster than I can!
At the moment I do keep the general plan in my head myself though, and I thoroughly read anything it generates before I run it.
