Let me be the advocate of devil I think ChatGPT is actually sometimes a lot better than SO answers

  For the last few days I've been using ChatGPT instead of SO. It's OK, it's just frequently wrong, so I assume I have to fact-check its answers. Yesterday it claimed to me JavaScript has a built-in `sum` method, before admitting no browsers supported it and it's not in the spec. It's useful for starting investigation, but one of the nice things about SO is that answers are voted for, so you can usually see which are actually right!

    The thing about SO is you are often not able to find the question that precisely answer your question, while ChatGPT could do just that. I just used ChatGPT to answer some not so complex but still custom questions about linux command, it can just do that, while it will for sure take effort for me to search that answer from SO.

    What if AI starts voting all the answers randomly?

      SO upvote rings I assume to be a solved problem
