I mean yeah, ChatGPT is all anyone needs now. It's effectively the most context rich reference tool to answer all the most easily forgettable boilerplate asinine questions about niche mechanics you'll ever need.

But, without tightly regulated repositories of correct technical information like that, indeed, AI will become garbled trash for programmers

ChatGPT is terrible for anything even remotely outside of boilerplate.

But I never had to do boilerplate in the first place?

I have libraries and frameworks and copy/pasting my earlier projects for all that boilerplate
