😂 What a joke

Sounds like some jobs are on the line

Maybe in literal sense but it gives great answers imho

In my experience it gives “good enough” answers. You have to go into it expecting to apply your own efforts in reading the code, testing it, and providing feedback and repromting to work with it like it’s a pair coding exercise. I use it that way because I suck at figuring out “what do I do next” when sitting down to write bespoke code. This is a step up from spending hours reading docs, Googling for non-applicable examples, or getting my questions downvoted on SO. Most of the time I can get ChatGPT to figure out what I want and at least get me on the right path to completing the rest on my own.

@stackodev I wonder whether ChatGPT could optimize your Stackoverflow questions to avoid downvoting...

@Oktokolo I’ll never know. The message I get when trying to log in basically says “You’re banned. And don’t even think of creating an alt.” I could edit the many questions I asked in the past but ChatGPT is always more helpful and has infinite patience.

@stackodev how does one get banned from SO?!?

@Oktokolo

me to chatgpt: please answer this question in an anal way as if I was posting on stack overflow.

@stackodev i stopped participating in SO before I was tempted to call them cunts in the comments.

@black-kite My questions were too banal and mediocre for their galaxy brains.

@stackodev Try the opposite. My questions are too hard for them so they sook because they cannot answer them

@Demolishun to use words like anal you should use chai as gpt. The bot I used for our wizard fight research

@Nanos give me examples of such questions. Wtf

I have a problem with AI giving 1 answer to 1 question. Like, that isn't how it works in this industry.

StackOverflow has multiple people answering a question and explaining their experiences and why they did what they did.

I've never trusted AI to begin with.

@SidTheITGuy AI is just curated content from multiple devs. It's like taking input from 5 devs and turning it into an original thought. (aka an OG thot).

@SidTheITGuy no cap gg fr young boii. If gpt gives you solution, you can ask for alternative again and again. You hate gpt, I know

@gagan-suie I'll give you another situation unrelated to my previous comment.

I asked GPT to give me a script or third party API service to tell me if a provided email belongs to Google Workspace or not.

The AI gave me a script claiming that's the exact thing I need. Thing is, I was unaware that emails ending in @yahoo.com could also belong to Google Workspace and it's pretty much impossible to tell.

After a lot of me pulling my hair over this I realised that AI was giving me wrong answers.

@SidTheITGuy lol I agree AI isn't always right. Especially when it's related to code. You gota guide it to the right answer sometimes. I've had a similar situation. Very basic stuff, and it just wouldn't do as I ask.

Prompt engineering is real. You gota know how to talk to it. Wine and dine de shawty.

@gagan-suie making it do what I want it to do is my exact problem. I am a dumbass who doesn't know what is real and what isn't. I don't know what I am looking for and I am handing it over to AI to tell me.

And If AI is claiming to know everything and claim its first solution is the solution I need, then I am done for, isn't it ?

Stack Overflow has people answering from experience, not from regurgitated bullshit off of the internet.

I am sorry, I sound way too angry lol.

@stackodev Lol. Delete your browser history, wait for a new IP and just create a new account. The rumors about them sending an actual kill squad to your home are somewhat exaggerated.

It can provide some help when searching and exploring solutions. But it will rarelly write a code you can directlly run.

@NoToJavaScript It did for me the other day. Of course, it didn’t do it right the first time. But as the human I was able to look for error messages and then direct it to the right solution. Yes, I could have written that code on my own. But I was in a hurry and it wrote 90% of what I needed in 5 seconds. It would have taken me an hour with just typing plus having to look up stuff I hadn’t used in months or years to remember how to do it. With what it did for me, it saved me a ton of time.
