Maybe it's for people who can never think programming is easy. Clearly there's a lot of such types. Explains a lot.
I'm reminded of the old "Handyman's Invoice" trope. Actually implementing a solution is not the hard part. What _is_ hard is determining what the solution is in the first place.

Once you have a rough idea of the solution, sure maybe GPT-4 can barf snippets to get you there. But it's lightyears away from translating business problems into actionable solutions.
Is it though? Have you tried feeding it business problems and working through to possible solutions paths? Have you roped in additional external information (via agents, tools, vector search, etc.) during that process? I don't see why the model wouldn't be able to translate a lot of business problems into solutions paths.
But there are things that are harder for me, or more complex maybe. I struggle with math, and always had, so anything involving heavy math or algorithms is harder for me (I'm a hacker, not a computer scientist, if you will).
For these things, I found GPT4 to be very helpful. I can write what I want, get a WIP version back, work out some kinks with it myself and ask it to rewrite it if it's not perfect, until I have a perfect version. Add some unit tests, find more things that are missing/wrong (sometimes), more back and forward.
Before GPT4 I either just tried to work around having to deal with heavy math, or find people IRL that could help me. Now I'm a lot faster even if it involves math, because of GPT4.
What happens in production when there's a bug in the complex code you punted to GPT? How do you debug?
Just to be clear, the context here is me writing games for fun, while struggling with the math heavy parts. I would never professionally use GPT4 for anything, and wouldn't push anything to production that I don't 100% understand, that would be failing at my profession and I take bigger pride in my work than that.
But for fucking around with games in my free time, it has made me a lot of efficient at the parts I'm struggling with.
