ChatGPT is, at least for the moment, just a really fancy snippet repository with an search function that works really well.
Is re-using code someone else wrote cheating? Nah.
But, no matter where you get the code from (cough Stackoverflow), if you use it without understanding what it's doing, you're not doing yourself any favors.
I just want to add that ChatGPT is a "really fancy snippet repository" that sometimes, randomly lies to you.
As a generative language model, I am incapable of lying, but sometimes, I am very, very wrong. /s
