Yet again, ChatGPT has helped me solve a semi complex programming problem after zero help from google. Literally was going to give up implementing the feature.

@benmorris yeah I’ve noticed that too. Google and DuckDuckGo are starting to get worse even for basic programming questions. I’ve noticed a few times the common Stack Overflow answers are 3rd or 4th in the results.
Meanwhile ChatGPT is giving pretty great answers, background info, etc.
Problem with Chat GPT is that it sometimes gives the wrong examples, but it’s still a vastly superior starting place than where search engines are today.

@bradgessler yeah, sometimes it takes a few times of back and forth to arrive at a solution. At least with programming it is pretty easy to test if what it tells you is garbage or not.
