Over the past one and a half years, Stack Overflow has lost around 50% of its traffic. This decline is similarly reflected in site usage, with approximately a 50% decrease in the number of questions and answers, as well as the number of votes these posts receive. The charts below show the usage represented by a moving average of days. The data is from https://stackoverflow.com/site-analytics Traffic Votes Posts
ChatGPT and Bard?
They can answer most of the questions accurately, unless they are too specific.
Doubtful, considering ChatGPT has only been public since late last year, and Bard’s even newer. I also really hope those aren’t a large factor, since most coding examples I’ve seen from ChatGPT only deal with questions of a really rudimentary nature and have given useless or wrong information about anything more nuanced or complicated.
Try chatgpt 4 premium. I have heard it automatically auto correct itself with code.
I regularly use gpt-4 for coding since it’s the backend behind github copilot, and my company has approved use of copilot (and I have copilot plugins installed for vscode and vs2022). It’s useful for autocompleting boilerplate code, but gets things wrong all the time about anything more complicated.
I don’t have GPT-4. But thanks for sharing your experience. It’s not that good after all… Well, we are not yet replaced by robots, that is for sure ^^
I haven’t visited stack overflow since I started using chatgpt
