BenLloydPearsonThe Fall of Stack Overflow
ericjmoreyI bet this is directly related to ChatGPT
I thought chatgpt is kinda shit now since the newest updates
I think it’s overblown tbh.
In my experience it still makes good suggestions for most things, and is better than trying to phrase things in a way that Google likes, then trawling through irrelevant forum posts.
It’s only there to make suggestions, so if someone is taking its output without understanding and treating it like gospel then they’re an idiot who’s inevitably going to end up in a world of trouble.
If you take the suggestion, verify it with documentation, then make sure you actually understand it, chatGPT is a great tool.
trawling through irrelevant forum posts.
This makes it worth it from just a time savings perspective. Also, describing it as trawling is very accurate lol. It takes a lot of trawling to get the answer you need, and even then sometimes it isn’t right because you’re relying on a single individual’s answer.
