OpenAI's ChatGPT app for macOS now [1]directly edits code in tools like Xcode, VS Code, and JetBrains . "Users can optionally turn on an 'auto-apply' mode so ChatGPT can make edits without the need for additional clicks," adds TechCrunch. The feature is available now for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users, and will expand to Enterprise, Edu, and free users next week. Windows support is coming " [2]soon ." From the report:
> Direct code editing builds on OpenAI's "work with apps" ChatGPT capability, which the company launched in beta in November 2024. "Work with apps" allows the ChatGPT app for macOS to read code in a handful of dev-focused coding environments, minimizing the need to copy and paste code into ChatGPT. With the ability to directly edit code, ChatGPT now competes more directly with popular AI coding tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot. OpenAI reportedly has ambitions to launch a dedicated product to support software engineering in the months ahead.

Yep, but should it? (Score:2)
I mean, seriously. I will have to fail sooo many people in my coding class this semester. Exam will probably be on paper. (Yes, not good. But better than the alternatives.)
