I don't expect ChatGPT will have much impact in 2023 or in general. ChatGPT etc, will be used by some devs as just as some devs like IDEs vs editors, or how often devs search the web or SO. I've rarely ever been limited by how long it takes to implement an idea, or coming up with an idea when I could clearly express the problem.
Edit: What would be cool is if ChatGPT et al, could take an implementation as input and generate all the test descriptions in natural language (source too, why not). That would expose unintended hidden or mistaken assumptions in the implementation.
