> I find that ChatGPT/GitHub Copilot tend to give much better answers for the vast majority of programming related questions

I'm not so sure about this.

Firstly, ChatGPT seems to hallucinate quite a lot, which can result in me wasting a lot of time, especially when the hallucinations aren't immediately apparent.

Secondly, presumably the content of Stackoverflow had been used to train ChatGPT... so if Stackoverflow and all of it's human-generated content disappeared, to be replaced by AI-generated content, that could be a bad thing for ChatGPT in the long run.
