I guarantee you have coworkers right now coding without understanding the fundamentals of the language they're coding in. Reusing code you don't understand doesn't change if you stole it from Stack Overflow, or you stole it from Chat-GPT9.

The code on SO is rarely specific to what the use case is IMHO. Any code I've gotten from there has had to be reworked to fit into what I'm doing. Plus I can't post some stuff on SO because of legal reasons but can on an internal ChatGPT portal.

Trust me, it's gonna get a lot worse.

Matter of fact, I look forward to the security breaches of developers posting company code into ChatGPT for help lol. We already had that issue with idiots posting company code into the public GitHub.
