You're probably fine with code generated from direct use of GPT-4 - it's clearly not smart enough to be dangerous. But it's not going to be the case in the future, so best not get into the habit.

The two most dangerous types of programmers are experts and novices.

I think you're forgetting the latter. It's the reason there's so many "how to exit vim" jokes and why every linux noob (that actually gets into linux and not just "oh, I installed ubuntu and only use the GUI) deletes shit they needed and learn the importance of backup the hard way. Hell, even being on systems like this for over a decade and knowing them really well I sometimes make mistakes. I have a bunch of aliases and routines literally to prevent accidents.
