My sentiment on the reliability is shared in my team, among people that used it a bit more: it's a garbage machine.
I do fear it might train a generation of software professionals that don't know how to code, which is going to harm them (unemployable) or the people they serve, but I might be overreacting due to the fact that the only a person I knew who claimed to use LLMs professionally was a hack who's using LLMs as a palliative for general lack of skills and low output. Come to think of it, this is precisely the kind of people that should be cautious around LLMs, because they can't review the LLM's output accurately for dangerous hallucinations.
