Today, millions of lines of chatGPT generated code will be committed in large organizations.

True, I'm no doubt being too cautious - where I work it is mainly used for unit testing and prototyping - as I understand it we are using it with developers, but always with a human review - we never have a product owner making code with a AI tool and deploying to live. Yet.
Oh dear God, if you think product owners are going to be committing code you must be missing something. The AI is to help devs work easier, not replace them. We are nowhere near that. Too much involved.
In what languages can chatGPT write anything remotely sane and deployable?
I have had it build out entire API in node Express. Shit needed help for sure. The point of AI is to have it so low value work like scaffolding and boilerplate. The AI goes off the rails a lot. You have to have the skills to recognize when it is and somehow change course.
it doesn't matter, it's still likely true. many programmers use it, many of those generated lines will in fact become part of commits. (maybe not millions, but ... it depends on the definition of large orgs.)
