@Apos I’m not a big fan of the tone of SO either. I’m just reporting that the consensus among the programming community is that the answers coming out of ChatGPT are not good for any but the most basic software questions. Want to know how to do a for loop in Ruby or a bubble sort? Well-established, well-documented things? (because after all it’s just stealing the documentation from elsewhere) Sure, go for it. But for anything complicated? You’re just asking to be tripped up by an algorithm that thinks it knows what it’s doing but really doesn’t. Just my 2 cents.

Kind of a tangent, but for English Comp we are to do persuasive essays where the topic is relevant to the degree being pursued (mine is computer science). I chose overreliance on AI as my topic for exactly this (bolded) reason.
