That used to be the case until recently. As much as neither I nor you want to admit it -- the truth is ChatGPT can handle 99% of what you would pay for "a team to maintain network and continually secure and monitor the server and update/patch." Infact, ChatGPT surpasses them as it is all encompassing. Any company now can simply pay for OpenAI's services and save the majority of the money they would have spent on the, "salaries of those professionals." BTW, ChatGPT Pro is only $200 a month ... who do you think they would rather pay?
I would pay you 100x that amount monthly to perform those services, as long as you assume the risk. If you're convinced this is viable, you should start a business :)
You have a link to some proof that chat gpt is patching servers running databases with no down time or data loss?
I think the argument is that dev with some vibe coding can successfully setup servers that are good enough already for 10x less cost and 95% reliability
This is an extremely bold statement to make. Vibe coding by a non-expert is the best way to introduce hard to find security issues.
Plus that 5% left out is a one in twenty chance that some business critical service may fail when least convenient.
And when it does, the person that vibed it into existence will only have ChatGPT to fall back to, having no personal or organizational experience to rely on.
But they have a 95% chance of getting it right, if they don't panic too much.
