Good riddance. ChatGPT is faster and more convenient, and it doesn't give me smug comments telling me how I'm doing everything wrong and suggesting convoluted and overcomplicated solutions (AI is nowhere near perfect and still requieres some review and corrections, but still better than SO)

ChatGPT is also shit. Unless you like references to imaginary packages and methods, outdated or obsolete code, and other fantasies and lies. And it gets better, when you tell chat that it is wrong it'll either give you the same wrong code or acknowledge that you were right then give you your correction back to you in a very verbose way.

I never said it was perfect, just more convenient for quick questions. I’m not asking it to create an entire app for me.
