With the advent of natural language processing models, the way we usually refer to human language, of Large Language Models (LLM) type, such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA), Large Language Model Meta Artificial Intelligence (LLaMA), or the so called Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT), users and the general public are beginning to generate any number of speculations and expectations about how far thy can go, and are also starting to explore new ways of use, some realistic, others creative, and others verging on fantasy. Computational Thinking is no exception to this trend. This is why it is of utmost importance to try to elaborate a clear vision about this innovative technology, seeking to avoid the creation and propagation of myths, which only make the perception and understanding that we have, and to try to find the right balance in terms of the reaches that can have this type of technological trends, and the ways of use that can be given to them, with special emphasis on Computational Thinking. In this paper we present a brief analysis of what Generative Pre-trained Transformer is, as well as some reflections and ideas about the ways in which Large Language Models can influence Computational Thinking, and their possible consequences. In particular, in this paper, we analyze the well-known ChatGPT, presenting an evaluation of the generated text outputs, and its credibility for its use in tasks of common use for Computational Thinking, such as performing an algorithm, its code and solving logical problems.
