As a web dev I'm not worried, but chatgpt has been useful figuring out some Godot/C# oddities that come with learning a new language. I worry for the new people who will just use what it says and not learn anything.
Even then, it will spit out methods and signatures from different but similar libraries (litedb and sqlite for instance)
But like @[email protected] said, I was expecting it to be a single page, probably rammed with unnecessary JavaScript.
It's interesting because it lets regular people with little to no training produce software.
It isn't great software, it doesn't always work... but considering the amount of software that an untrained person could produce previously was exactly none, it's a pretty interesting development in technology.
and, it's only going to get better.
AI is a great tool, but that's all it is. It's absolutely not a complete solution.
Its good for stuff that is vague or hard to google.
