Additionally, users have the option to enable an &#8220;auto-apply&#8221; mode, which allows ChatGPT to make edits without requiring further user interaction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Thursday, subscribers to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team can utilize the code editing feature by updating their macOS app. OpenAI has announced that this feature will be rolled out to Enterprise, Edu, and free users in the coming week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a post on X by Alexander Embiricos, a product staff member at OpenAI working on desktop software, the ChatGPT app for Windows will also receive the direct code editing feature &#8220;soon.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/embirico\/status\/1897714901160018204\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Embiricos&#8217; post<\/a> provides more information about the update.

This feature allows the ChatGPT app for macOS to read code in several developer-focused coding environments, reducing the need for users to copy and paste code into ChatGPT.

Jared Friedman, a partner at Y Combinator, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/03\/06\/a-quarter-of-startups-in-ycs-current-cohort-have-codebases-that-are-almost-entirely-ai-generated\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recently stated<\/a> that a quarter of YC&#8217;s W25 startup batch have 95% of their codebases generated by AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there are several <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/09\/04\/this-week-in-ai-vcs-and-devs-are-enthusiastic-about-ai-coding-tools\/#:~:text=AI%20coding%20tools%20also%20have,over%20the%20past%20few%20years.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">security, copyright, and reliability risks<\/a> associated with AI-powered assistive coding tools.
