Why are coders afraid of GPT4?

Chatgpt saves me few hundred $ to hire dev on fiverr.
I expect to save more with chatgpt4
Lets face it, you dont have to learn coding to do code, now the needed skill is how to make the right question/prompt.

I don't even understand why people ask this. See you ask chatgpt4 to make a script. It makes it for you. Still you have to understand it completely in order to use it or integrate it with the rest of the project.

I think for programmers chatgpt4 is blessing in disguise. Just type what you want and instead of searching the same thing on stack overflow a 100 times you have a script ready to use in one command.

Yep, exactly. I don't use GPT for coding. I tried, but it was actually harder than doing it myself.
This is because the TYPE of errors that GPT generated code produces is NOTHING like the type of errors that human coders make. I've trained myself, over time, to spot errors based on a "human" model of the kind of errors that people generally make - - parameter checks, exception handling, etc etc.
But debugging GPT-code is a nightmare because it makes errors that no human would ever make - - it invents functions and libraries and parameters that don't exist, for example - - Ive NEVER come across human-written code that has "hallucination" errors so it makes GPT-code maddeningly difficult to debug.
