ChatGPT coded a game for me in seconds and I’m just amazed – and programmers should be very concerned

ChatGPT just blew my mind. Nearly two years after I first asked an early version of the generative AI chatbot to help me code a game, I returned to ChatGPT 4o with the exact same prompt, and the results blew my mind.

Since the advent of OpenAI’s generative AI platform, people have turned to the platform to perform tasks they would rather not do or, in some cases, to attempt things they themselves are not capable of. I can write, so I don’t usually ask ChatGPT to compose prose, and I’m a fine artist, so I only use generative image creation for entertainment. However, I am not a programmer. I’ve done some HTML, Javascript, and even BASIC coding in the past, but my skills are beyond rusty; they are calcified.
