I think (based on observations from my admittedly flawed in many different ways workplace) the difference with Stackoverflow assisted development is scale. ChatGPT seems to have massively boosted the productivity of mediocre developers.

Obviously not saying that LLMs aren't empowering competent developers and spawning useful projects. But their ubiquity seems to have coincided with an avalanche of terrible code, at least at the fairly disorganized organization I work at.
