With some careful prompting I've been able to get some decent code that is 95% usable out of the box. If that saves me time and changes my role there into code review versus dev + code review, that's a win.

If you just ask GPT4 to write a program and don't give it fairly specific guardrails I agree it spits out nearly junk.

The thing is, if you do start drilling down and fixing all the issues, etc, is it a long term net time saver? I can't imagine we have research clarifying this question.
