I don't think so, especially for StackOverflow. I want correct answers, not answers that just look correct.

Yep. Stable diffusion is powerful because there's no "right answer". Just better/worse variations of a prompt. GPT is going to be amazing for telling stories. Particularly, for "too literal" software engineers, like me. However, it doesn't seem to offer much in terms of hard, factual information that technical fields rely on.

  There's plenty of text in the process of hard factual information. How about for commenting code? Or describing how a system works? Engineering isn't just a set of diagrams with length notations. Tell me how eg a Scharfenberg coupler operates with only symbols and numbers; no using text that ChatGPT might generate. Or how about all of this page: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/application/introduction.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/appl...

  Once again with the "right answers" for art. Stable Diffusion is just as bad at art as this is at programming. Both are "good" to fools and idiots (read your manager) who thinks your work is useless and needs to be farmed out (while theirs is vital, of course)

  Hard disagree on the storytelling abilities at least with the current capabilities I found the storytelling to be extremely predictable, linear and not really able to come up with unusual or interesting plots... Which makes sense considering that these large scale language models represent the diluted sum of human generated content and most humans are by definition relatively mundane, as are the works that they produce. Now I won't argue that the stories that these large scale language models can produce are highly cohesive, they're just not very interesting or compelling in any form.

But so is modern TV (that includes streaming services for the nitpickers) and look how much money they're making...

  See https://character.ai https://character.ai .. compare to ChatGPT and you will see how much they accomplished.
