ChatGPT won't humiliate you for asking a question that someone else has already asked.

I don't know, being told what a good question that was and what a good boy I am everytime I ask a stupid question feels pretty humiliating.

(Still better than SO)

That's a pretty recent development, isn't it? I remember ChatGPT being a lot more matter of factly earlier on.

Yep, old ChatGPT was much more blunt and factual.

Don't really like the recent trend of every LLM talking to me like I'm in kindergarten.
