The emergence of ChatGPT, an advanced language model powered by artificial intelligence, has generated debates about the potential implications for the future of software programming. This master thesis proposal aims to explore the question: "Will ChatGPT replace human beings for software programming?" The objective of this research is to investigate the capabilities and limitations of ChatGPT as a programming tool, compare it to human programmers, and assess its potential impact on the software development industry.

The proposed research will involve a comprehensive literature review to examine the existing body of knowledge surrounding AI in software development, focusing on the emergence and capabilities of ChatGPT. This research aims to evaluate the extent to which ChatGPT can automate programming tasks, identify its strengths and weaknesses compared to human programmers, and analyze potential implications for employment and industry practices.

The findings of this research will contribute to a deeper understanding of the capabilities of ChatGPT in software programming and its potential impact on the job market. The outcomes of this study will be valuable for software developers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers in making informed decisions about the integration of AI technologies in software development processes.
