From my experiments, ChatGPT is at least valuable by generating boilerplate code for scripting languages. I believe once connected to enterprise codebase its quality and completion can dramatically increase.

We must have seen very different enterprise code.

It's called garbage collection for a reason. ;)

I think it's going to be mostly more complete code which does improve its quality. For example I generated a piece of code to query API but without authentication or other information the code is not complete.

Aren't scripting languages meant to reduce boilerplate code? Maybe you just need a better API and not an AI?

You still need boilerplate for scripting language though. Like querying an endpoint in Python with a rationing limit in mind. Things like that, not exactly difficult but still need some lines of code.
