I did find it funny one time when I got a solution for a problem from ai at work, and then later found the almost word for word solution in stack overflow. Like this is just a search engine but with higher sea level rise and rainforest clearcutting when you use it!
Do people think it's something else!?
Less ads though.
Not for long. Its called enshittification.

It is like a search engine that will randomly spit out something correct (a human's work), wrong, or sadly wrong.
With every response to a prompt you get to figure out the relative level of bullshit or propaganda.
Google also making search worse so people will use their slop machine instead
Often it is exactly the same as the top stack overflow answer. Sometimes it throws in some extra shit to make it incorrect though, so you have to scroll down and click on the SO link, which is what you would have done before all of this nonsense anyway.
