two of the worst places to copy code from.
Unfortunately aged like milk, StackOverflow was an early adopter of the LLM fad.
Well, if I asking for help, it’s probably because I am wrong about something. So I know who to trust.
That’s a stupid question it doesn’t deserve an answer. You should be ashamed you even thought about it.
Your description of the problem has words I’ve heard before, like “a” and “even”; marked as duplicate.
Closing as selecting the correct tool for the job is opinion-based
Whenever I see this, I know the answers will contain useful curated facts about each tool…
This has been asked before. The thread was closed with zero comments but suck it.
Now, that’s the real SO experience.
Me: You fucking idiot.
That’s just the average stackoverflow comment
Answer: Why don’t you try searching for the question first?
Me (confused face): How tf do you think I found this page?
Answer: Why are you doing it that way?
Me (sighs): Because I’m an idiot and don’t know what I’m doing, is that what you wanted to hear?

ChatGPT is a narcissists dream app.
it’s getting worse too.
Just this morning I asked claude a very basic question, it halucinated the answer 3 times in a row. zero correct solution. first answer It halucinated what a certain cli daemon does, second solution it provided an alternative that it literally halucinated, the thing didn’t exist at all, third solution it halucinated how another application works as well as the git repo for said application (A. doesn’t even do the the thing Claude describe and B. the repo it provided had NOTHING to do with the application it described) I just gave up and went to my searx and found the answer myself. I shouldn’t have been so lazy.
ChatGPT isn’t much better anymore.
I found a workaround for this:
I start with “a buggy LLM wrote this piece of code…” then i paste my code for review, so they can shit and bash on it “you’re absolutely right: that LLM done a disaster, this is a mess, look how inefficient is this function, here is how it can be improved…”
I shall try that. 🤔
SO: “that’s a stupid question!” GPT: “that’s a great question!”
stack overflow at least is polite enough to call you a moron for asking
Every second the most ridiculous question gets positive feedback so yeah who knows where we’ll end up from here.
People on Social Media: “You absolutely are an asshole.”
^^^ Look at this absolute asshole!, ^^^
<— also this one

This is why I’m on Lemmy. You guys get me
This is 100% every normal person’s experience on there at one time or another. Having it be a dupe is perfect.
LMAO! Well, at least I can cry to Claude about it…
My boiled egg has to be just a little bit liquid on the inside 🌚
Downvote harder damnit! I think I broke my screen
6 Minutes.Sticky =/= Liquid
🧐😜💦
Corrected.

piefed is working on solution and answer features and i can’t wait for stackoverflow like communities without the ai “enhancements”
This sounds pretty exciting and I keep hearing more and more about piefed lately. I’m kinda excited for this new burgeoning era of the federated 'Net!

And neither can get it right over half the time.
