ChatGPT can solve a lot of problems but it cannot solve problems that you as a user don’t know questions to, which makes article/blogs superior to it, and will continue to be for a while still.

I have a project where I shared a lot of JavaScript info over the years and those articles are growing 10% month over month. Some get 500 daily views despite there being ChatGPT.

You just can’t trust it, neither can you get it to give you real context or the required visuals.

weird this got voted down, because this is one example where I think having a blog does work over ChatGPT; "problems that you as a user don’t know questions to" Same reasons you would read a book. You need to know enough to ask questions.

Although I don't know how well ChatGPT++ can answer the question: "Give me an introduction to XYZ technology and include examples and questions"

Should we wait for it and ask "what are questions I should ask I don't know about"?
You can try, and once you waste your time for 10 minutes getting nowhere, go ahead and read the blog post that actually tells you what to do.

Ego is certainly something ChatGPT shares with humans.

But I don't know which blog post to read.
You should probably reread once more what I wrote, just saying.
Can you give concrete example to support your argument instead of avoiding conversation?
