    I agree with you that it sometimes gives wrong answers. But most of the time, it can help better than StackOverflow, especially with simple problems. I mean, there wouldn’t be such an exodus from StackOverflow if ChatGPT answers were so bad right ?

    But, for very specific subjects or bizarre situations, it obviously cannot replace SO.









  • I really can’t count the number of times I had to go on Google Scholar to find a concrete answer for a silly question outside of my field (like, biology, psychology, sociology etc.) because the rest of the web was incapable of giving me a concrete answer backed with sources. I have to say it does take more time and energy though. And you won’t find a simple answer to your question, more like “Yes, but it depends”.
