    Because forum posts are always full of accurate and helpful information?

    In my experience it still makes good suggestions for most things, and is better than trying to phrase things in a way that Google likes, then trawling through irrelevant forum posts.

    It’s only there to make suggestions, so if someone is taking its output without understanding and treating it like gospel then they’re an idiot who’s inevitably going to end up in a world of trouble.

    If you take the suggestion, verify it with documentation, then make sure you actually understand it, chatGPT is a great tool.

    I think it’s overblown tbh.
