Li suggested ChatGPT may create more bugs than identify them, which could be catastrophic for first-time or amateur coders looking to build their own projects. “ChatGPT will enable a bunch of people that have never had all this training to jump in, they can start right now and I start to worry about morphological design problems buried in there.” “You write something and ChatGPT helps you build it but because of all these des...
