We need a comparison against an average coder. Some fucking baseline ffs.

Self driving cars start killing people.

The issue is the powers that be arent comparing chatgpt to a reference manual. Rather another human being.

Why would we compare it against an average coder?

ChatGPT wants to be a coding aid/reference material. A better baseline would be the top rated answer for the question on stackoverflow or whether the answer exists on the first 3 Google search results.

Cause people arent looking at chatgpt as an accurate simple code generator, rather a junior dev.
