    Not to mention the fact that even if a similar question were answered, if that thread is from 2012, the answer will, with 99% certainty, be totally irrelevant now.

    SO has always been a bastion of power hungry dickbags who get off on acting superior and putting others down. They way it’s structured reinforces this. It turned what should have been a great place to help each other into a fucking bloodsport arena.

    Also, fuck LLMs.

      I don’t like the way that LLMs have gathered their information with zero credit to anybody. It’s totally bullshit.

              Two wrongs don’t make a right.

              It’s also totally fucking different when someone on SO asks for help for their homework or for help with an nginx server on their home network, and when some tech firm decides to scrape 15 years worth of information created by countless people, and then spit it back out pretending like it’s some novel solution.

              As I said in my original comment, I’m no fan of SO. But the behavior of neither the site nor the people who lurk and copy justify what LLMs are doing.
