Chatgpt just cribs from stack overflow, which in turn just cribs their answers from documentation. Once you figure that out, they both become surprisingly useless.
ChatGPT business model: rephrasing stackoverflow answers to make the asker feel like a valuable human being.
I asked ChatGPT if it would ever maliciously give me a wrong answer and it said no, so I believe it.
The good thing about stack overflow, (when your question isn’t marked as a duplicate of something completely unrelated), is that you accidentally learn random other things while browsing answers.
Stack overflow is great for learning from posts that are marked as duplicate! I’ve learned the most from those lol
The one very important thing I learnt on stack overflow was the XY problem. Most of my first questions were about how to make my idiotic solution work, instead of how to properly solve the problem.
It’s true. And neither of them back it up with reasons.
Nor care to have those reasons in the first place.
And if you press them, you get complete bullshit reasons. But SO will also ban you, while ChatGPT only cares about you paying.
