Does that mean that 48% of ChatGPT answers to programming questions are correct? If so, that's amazing!

Kind of, but I'd guess that Google searches and Stack Overflow might have a higher success rate than this.
No way. I send ChatGPT my Haskell code and the unreadable compiler error message, and it tells me what the error means in plain human terms or at least points me in the right direction.

Google and Stack Overflow are useless here, people have different situations than I do.

I find it's worse at providing working code (much less good code), but pretty good at telling me why my code doesn't compile, which is 80% of the work anyway!
