I hope no one actually trusts that for real answers, just based on what we've seen it try to do already.

I hope no one actually trusts that for real answers, just based on what we've seen it try to do already.
- tjbiddle 4y agoWhether it's AI generated, or some random schlep on Stack Overflow - Don't trust the answer without reviewing. Amateurs run code they don't understand.
- naniwaduni 4y agoProfessionals, of course, let someone else run the code they don't understand.
- nonethewiser 4y agoI hope no one blindly trusts answers from strangers on the internet.
- psychoslave 4y agoI guess I should not blindly trust this statement.
- oefrha 4y agoLol just yesterday I saw an eight year old answer on SO neatly solving my problem, except the API was hallucinated. Humans have been hallucinating APIs for far longer.
- shagie 4y agoThis is the fundamental problem and shortsightedness of the ChatGPT ban on Stack Overflow - it doesn't go far enough. There is some imagined distinction between a hallucinated answer from a LLM and one from a person posting "try {random code}" that are both equally wrong - but only the LLM is deleted (because deleting the wrong answers are an attempt by a human to answer(?) or would hurt feelings / engagement (?)).
- endisneigh 4y agoDid you fix it?
- codetrotter 4y agoYou need a lot of karma to edit other peoples answers, don’t you?
- kyleee 4y agoAnd for the edit queue not to be full. So yes, basically the stars have to align :p
- oefrha 4y agoNo, I scoured the API surface and the functionality simply isn’t exposed, so the question has no answer. There was already a comment pointing out the answer’s wrong.
- sirtomato 4y agoThe first time I read this I thought it meant it was an eight year old person answering your question.
- cfuendev 4y agoLol same
- codetrotter 4y ago> the API was hallucinated If the answer is from 8 years ago, did the API change between then and now? Or was the answer for the same version that you are using?
- oefrha 4y agoIt didn’t change, the functionality was never there. The API only ever existed in that answer, otherwise a Microsoft API would have left traces elsewhere on the Internet.
- geysersam 4y agoWhy would someone make up an API in an SO answer?
- cutemonster 4y agoMaybe mistook Java for being C# or PHP and replied with another language and framework in mind. Just guessing, I am. Or wrote pseudo code, but forgot to mention this?
