.....who wrote code without stack overflow

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've got no issues with people using stackoverflow or chatGPT as a reference. The problem has always been when anyone just skims what they found and just paste it in without understanding it. Without looking at the rest of the comments, further discussion, or looking at any other search results for further insight and context.

I think chatGPT makes this sort of "carelessness" (as opposed to carefulness) even easier to do, as it appears to be responding with an answer to your exact question and not just something the search algorithm thinks is related.
