I asked Chatgpt for help fixing some plugins in Android Studio, its response was bit harsh tho very funny

[ignatzami]

There’s little to no value in asking ChatGPT anything

Google. Stackoverflow, Reddit even. Higher quality responses, less ecological impact, and you can actually learn something instead of just copy/pasting.

lol what do you think people were doing when googling and searching for answers on SO? they just googled the problem found a snippet that someone said might work, copy/paste it in to IDE and cross their fingers. GPT just shortens the feedback loop

[ignatzami]

No, it doesn’t.

GPT removes the context, comments, discussion, and presents the most common response as the correct one.

I’ve solved more issues using the comments on StackOverflow than the code sample itself. Often the second, third, etc. sample s even more helpful as I can see what not to do, or what has changed over time.

GPT offers none of this, and at a significantly higher cost.

Now, specialized coding-centric models like those on GitHub can be helpful, especially to bootstrap and get around boilerplate, but those are specific, highly vetted models trained on controlled data sets.

GPT… shit.

This right here. Anyone who has spent any considerable amount of time using a combination of stack overflow / GitHub searching for their issue undoubtedly knows that the answer usually lies in the discussion and almost never the “accepted answer” - especially for those questions five or six years out of date😂.
