We tried to ask our interview question of ChatGPT. After some manual syntax fixes, it performed about as well as a mediocre junior developer, i.e. writing mutithreaded code without any synchronization.

Don't misunderstand, it is an amazing technical achievement that it could output (mostly) correct code to solve a problem, but it is nowhere good enough for me to use. I would have to carefully analyze any code generated for errors, rewrite bits to improve readability (rename variables to match our terminology, add comments, etc), and who knows what else. I am not sure it will save me much time and I am sure it will not be as good as my own code. I could see using an AI to generate sophisticated boiler plate code (code that is long, but logically trivial).
