Is ChatGPT already able to mimic SO behaviour by answering “please research before asking dumb questions”, “this should be obvious” and “closing, already answered somewhere else”?
Not sure about GPT, but copilot is starting to give you less depth in answers. If I asked it something a year ago about a config entry, It would give me what I needed and a sample of it in use. It’s now pretty minimal in it’s answer, which is ok, but it was kind of nice to get more context. If you ask it to add debug statements, it’ll often just list a few lines without context of where they go. It’s kinda nice to ask something to create debug statements in a couple hundred lines of code rather than manually going back through a bunch of nested loops.
I would enjoy an AI to call me stupid for my code and a “here’s how to do it properly” attached to it.
Too bad it just keeps hallucinating python libs that don’t exist.

posts a link to something completely unrelated
It does do this. I’ll admit I do sometimes use copilot.microsoft.com, and if you check the source it links, its usually completely unrelated.

And the dreaded “why would you want to do that?”
You’re asking [A] but have you tried addressing [B] instead. It’s unrelated BTW
