    Bleh, maybe I’m an old man, but when I’m searching stackoverflow, I find the context of stack overflow answers really helpful.

    I.E. the top result may include caveats itself or have comments indicating why an answer might be problematic. And sometimes the best answer isn’t even the top answer. I’ve not used AI code assistance very much, but these all seem like things that the model is likely to take for granted.

    But I also never contribute to stackoverflow, and agree I’d much rather engage with with an AI than do THAT.

      I see it pretty often saying “you could do it this way, or XYZ other way”

        Yeah but the benefit of professionals and actual users speaking up is that they can speak to more than the immediate need.

        ChatGPT is always ready to provide answers, but I’ve rarely see it be aware enough to offer advice when unprompted.

        Basically if you’re so wrong you don’t even know your wrong, ChatGPT isn’t likely to help, but people online can and at least did.
