This is one of my major concerns with ChatGPT, and I'm not sure why it hasn't been discussed more. StackOverflow is a massively useful resource, to be sure, but it takes knowledge to wade through the outdated (or just plain bad) answers. StackOverflow can be a useful starting point, but I don't think I have ever copy/pasted code directly from StackOverflow. I don't think any LLM will be able to replace the skill of reading the docs and learning your tools.
I have no doubt that ChatGPT will become even better than StackOverflow at answering questions. Is this really going to make us better programmers?
