And ChatGPT never closes your question without answer because it (falsely) thinks it's a duplicate of a different question from 13 years ago
- nottorp 1y agoBut it does give you a ready to copy paste answer instead of a 'teach the man how to fish' answer.
- addandsubtract 1y agoNot if you prompt it to explain the answer it gives you.
- nottorp 1y agoNot the same thing. Copying code, even with comprehensive explanations, teaches less than writing/adjusting your own code based on advice.
- elbear 1y agoIt can also do that if you ask it. It can give you exercises that you can solve. But you have to specifically ask, because by default it just gives you code.
- nottorp 1y agoOf course, I originally was picking on Stack Overflow's moderation. Which strongly discouraged trying to teach people.
- elbear 1y agoOh, I missed that. I also missed that about StackOverflow, although I wasn't active there. It sounds like the motto of SO was "Solve problems!" instead of "Teach people how to solve problems!".
- nikanj 1y agoAlas, someone bungled the incentive system and a closed question counts as a solved problem
- nottorp 1y agoIt kinda went downhill at some point. But currently: > And ChatGPT never closes your question without answer because it (falsely) thinks it's a duplicate of a different question from 13 years ago ChatGPT acts exactly opposite to the SO mods. > But it does give you a ready to copy paste answer instead of a 'teach the man how to fish' answer. Here it acts exactly like what SO mods like. The other comments are mostly people thinking this is about ChatGPT...
- nikanj 1y agoI'd rather have a copy paste answer than a "go fish" answer
