Sure, but I've also never worked on any software directly responsible for the lives of human beings (as far as I know, anyway). I would like to think I'd operate a little differently if I were.

See for example how Boeing works with the airplanes ( https://theprint.in/world/boeing-engineers-blame-cheap-india... )

At the end, I wouldn't be surprised if ChatGPT writes parts of critical code in some companies.

Just it would be very problematic to say it and nobody has interest into revealing that.
