It can’t have been trained on THAT much SO because it’s never told me my question is off topic or is a repeat of a different question. :P

- extraduder_ire 1y agoStack overflow is not for you and your question, it's for the person doing a google search with the same question months or years later. A machine that produces a large set of annotated FAQs.
- taneq 1y agoI’ve never posted a question to S.O. My infuriation is entirely gratuitous. So many times I’ve found a polite, well worded question asking exactly what I need answered, only to see it closed as off topic (and we’re talking “question about preg_match() on the PHP stackexchange” type question) or for some condescending asshole to mark it as duplicate, linking a mostly unrelated and far simpler question with no further indication why this might be at all the proper response.
