I watched that a couple weeks ago..  it's great. Whenever I have a coding challenge that I can't think of a solution for, and let's face it, none of our problems are really very unique. Someone somewhere has already had the same problem and may even have provided a solution. What I usually use chatGPT for is for coding languages or JS libraries that I am unfamiliar with or that require a PhD to use (e.g., D3.js). So I will ask it thinks like, "show example code using a google sheet as a source to create a line chart in D3. Use the first column date data as the X-axis, the second column as the left vertical axis, and the third column as a separate right vertical axis."   Then,  "with the above code example, what would it look like within an html file?"  etc etc, and just build out the solution I need. 

I would say it is about 90% accurate (or better).

So, in other words, ChatGPT is going to replace Stack Overflow before taking our jobs? hehehe

When reading your example, I started thinking "everyone will be able to code" but, by the time you I reached the end, I thought "wait, ChatGPT is basically simplifying what we already do... and that is using results from search engines".
It all boils down to a secret all marketing professionals know and that is "presentation is the key differentiator". Two people can have the same product/service idea but a key determining factor for which of them gets to succeed is how it is presented to the end-user.
