I know what you mean! I just started in development recently and the amount of my colleagues (that I am supposed to learn from) who use ChatGPT for a lot more than they should is super annoying to me. I have a background in natural language processing but decided to go into software development because the programming was always more fun to me.

Recently some of my colleagues were looking for a package for a specific framework to do a specific task. And they just asked ChatGPT which is just NOT A SEARCH ENGINE. It came up with something that wasn't even close to what we needed, but somehow no one looked into it. I did a quick search, read some threads on reddit and found something a lot better in 5 minutes. Luckily the Project Manager listened to me, but it was honestly so weird, because I felt like I was somehow weird for suggesting to look at what other devs recommend instead of just going with what a language model suggests, that doesn't even use recent data.
