> This mindset is bizarre to me! What is it? Fear of the unknown? Laziness? Demanding social proof before trying something?

i worked on a chatbot using a service corollary to openai's api around the time when transformer's paper was published.

i still don't see the value in using chatgpt.

there was an instance where something i wanted to find online was hard but i could get a semi-usable answer from their 3.5 model. but after understanding how they iterate the model over time, it probably took someone more knowledable on the topic to have a similar conversation with their service.

this is a major red flag for me in terms of privacy.

the same people prefering stackoverflow over rtfm will gravitate towards this way, and more power to them. i am happy to be considered ignorant in the meanwhile.

Oh! I'd forgotten how big a productivity boost over manpages/offical docsites SO was.
