They’ll probably give them all chatGPT subscriptions and ask them to deal with it. If that goes well they’ll probably cut the staff in half again.

Not an engineer so I'm curious... Is this actually a thing that's happening in Eng orgs these days?
Can't speak for other places, but at Meta everyone effectively has a free GPT4 subscription.
If you’re an eng and not using ChatGPT/copilot you’re going to get left behind pretty soon.
It's unsettling how many times GPT 4.5 has been wrong about something that I can easily see and point out and often verify by finding documentation or testing. I don't know how many times I've asked a question and told the wrong thing.

There is no GPT-4.5. Current OpenAI GPT models include various date and context-size checkpoints of 3.5-turbo, 4, and (in preview) 4-turbo.

That’s too bad for you. I’d say for general corporate development, the output is directly usable 90%+ of the time.
Sure, if you are doing unoriginal low quality work.
Or dogfood their Amazon Q AI
