That's a good way of putting it. Especially in inexperienced users' hands.

I'm working with a bunch of autonomy guys (think PHD algorithms people) and ChatGPT lets them write code. Which is good.

Except the code is hot garbage. It works for the thing they're trying to do, but it doesn't handle errors, it's not extendable, it's not maintainable, and they'll fight you when you tell them how to make it any of the above because they didn't write it and don't really understand how it works.

There's no management buy-in--startup, so velocity matters more than anything--so I've resorted to letting them have their working garbage patch and I just let them deal with the consequences. Frustrating, but quality doesn't matter sometimes.
