> As an experiment, if you need to do one, just pick a random cheaper (although I have seen more expensive doing exactly the same; problem is, the amount of 5 stars pushed the rate up but might not mean good or competent code) coder from upwork/fiverr and give them a simple project; something CRUD, in Laravel or node; something chatgpt will come up with no problem. And check the screenshots (upwork 'spies' on devs to see if they are working) of them trying to 'solve the issues'; most of them will be google/SO searches and trying to fix pasted code so it works.
This probably would only work if you had a sample of work from said devs from before the availability of GPT.
If you hire someone to do a job ChatGPT can do now.. they're going to use it
I am not so sure; I just hit up a bunch of my ex colleagues one by one, asking about chatgpt; they have 0 idea what i'm talking about. They (programmers), mostly said AI is for content. So yeah, they are not going to use it as they have no clue it exists. I told them now, but this will be the norm outside the twitter/hn bubble really.
Also, when it starts costing money (which @sama said it will), they won't use it, just like they are not using copilot because it's 10$/mo.
