ChatGPT has a style over substance trick that seems to dupe people into thinking it’s smart, researchers found::Developers often prefer ChatGPT’s responses about code to those submitted by humans, despite the bot frequently being wrong, researchers found.
What they should have done is asked those same 12 programmers to ask a common everyday question on Stack Overflow and then while waiting for a response, ask ChatGPT the same question.
I’d bet 50 bucks almost all of them would get an acceptable answer to their question out of ChatGPT 4 in far less time than it takes the moderators at Stack Overflow to delete the question. I can’t imagine any of the questions will actually be answered on SO.
