I haven't used ChatGPT, yet, but could there be an analogy between the current AI tools and high level languages when they were first introduced? The language of the high level language had to be learned before you could generate correct code. Even with the correct language the compiler often generates machine code that an assembler programmer would reject.
Unfortunately the language of AI is not as clearly defined as, say, COBOL. Devs are teaching it the language. In five years it may have evolved to the point where you can describe and get exactly the code you need.
