I also believed that… till I saw what people who simply connect output of ChatGPT with the compiler are producing.

Believe me, if you concentrate on keeping your head entirely clean without any understanding of what you are doing… just feeding compiler advice into ChatGPT often leads you to something totally crazy that still compiles and runs… just doesn't work.

The trick is to not know anything about programming at all and not even thinking about the task that you are trying to solve.

Then you can create really powerful headache for the reviewers.
