| >I largely treat ChatGPT as my personal Stackoverflow. Except I get to break all the stackoverflow rules. This is the sweetest thing about ChatGPT. With Stack Overflow, if I ever have the misfortune of needing to ask a question, I feel like I'm a contractor with some seriously constraining contractual obligations. I feel like I'm serving them rather than them serving me. I have to perform an exotic dance through a field of eggshells just to get what I'm after. With ChatGPT, I feel the opposite. I feel like it's really serving me. It's so refreshing to just be able to ask any kind of question, any follow-up questions, no strings attached. Even beyond Stack Overflow, with forums and message boards in general, I no longer have to deal with moderators locking my post, users reprimanding me for not using their atrocious search feature, no whining or rhetorical judgements "why would you even want to do this, you stupid idiot?" That said, the effectiveness of ChatGPT wouldn't be what it is without Stack Overflow question martyrs and their answerers. |
