>As a developer, if you offer me StackOverflow vs ChatGPT, I'd take StackOverflow any day of the week 100x over. Really? Hm, I wouldn't.

SO is successful as a QA platform(or was anyway) despite this shortcoming, not because it is a feature and it doesn't happen. If a lot of people are talking about the same thing, maybe people should at least pay cursory attention to the issue rather than "No, it doesn't happen" (Not aimed at you, but there are absolutely comments like this every time this gets bought up.)

    You linked to a discussion of about a hundred comments. I skimmed it but didn’t see name calling. Can you be more specific?
