Why would I install this? Why wouldn't I just ask ChatGPT my questions?

#112I've asked this before, but is having a domain name with someone else's business name in it allowed? The answer I was given last time was you can buy it it but you might not get to keep it. Still, I can't help but think it would be inevitable legal trouble.
What you're saying is every business name needs to be unique world-wide
No he’s not saying that. He’s saying you cannot start a company called Apple in Mexico that sells smartphones. There are two components, what you provide as a service and your name. You just cannot do both.
But you could start a company called Stack Overflow that sells cookies in Austria. They may still try to sue you but then it comes down to an actual argued case and debates and such. This is just complete copy.

#113Man. What an absolute GENIUS way to get people to not post ChatGPT answers. Just put them there from there from the start. "Burn the boats"
I didn't install it. What's the scam here?

The SO community can be pretty toxic with newcomers that don't ask questions in the "one true way". I can get away with asking questions because I know what will work, but that doesn't make the site friendlier. Also, God forbid you ask anything that can be considered "opinion based"...
>Also, God forbid you ask anything that can be considered "opinion based"... It's clearly not allowed. People shouldn't be surprised when their answer gets closed. The goal of stack overflow is to build a quality mapping from questions to answers. There is no way to map a subjective question to an answer.
Opinion based exists in a spectrum. I'd expect the mods to error on the side of not closing questions and letting the discussion continue. However, there are very active mods that take them as gospel and will take any chance they get to enforce them to their most strict interpretation.
A heavily policed community is not a welcoming one.

#115The upvotes/downvotes of the answers generated by CHATGPT can be a useful reinforcement mechanism

"But I checked every down voted question, and they were all useless. No code, just a vague statement of trying to do something." That's exactly it. Someone out there is asking for help. They don't know how to ask or where to start. Then they get shut down by the community for being useless and vague instead of guided on the right questions to ask. This is the first downvoted question I see: https://stackoverflow.com/…
Do you see stack overflow as a resource for total beginners? Such a question has no place on SO from my perspective. A chat with a more experienced person would be much more helpful and chatgpt could be the next best thing in this context.
I do. Why would a Q&A site not be a good place for total beginners? The only reason it's not is the toxicity of the community.

Yes, if it's trademarked and the businesses operate in a similar problem space.

I asked ChatGPT about this: "Why are ChatGPT responses written a few words at a time?" It replied, a few words at a time: - - - The responses are broken up into smaller chunks for several reasons: 1. Better readability: Breaking up the responses into smaller pieces makes it easier for users to read and understand the information being provided. 2. Interactivity: ChatGPT's response format allows for a back-and-forth i…
What is even the point of posting nonsense spam from ChatGPT as replies? At least clearly indicate that it's generated. I thought it was from OpenAI as you said "from the horse's mouth", until I started reading that nonsense. Was under the impression that you were just trying to troll first.
Thank you for your feedback. I updated my comment to make it clear that it was ChatGPT replying to my question.

No, next step is to get the clones/alts arguing with ChatGPT in SO-tone in order to complete the circle.
ModGPT1, ModGPT2, ModGPT3 and ModGPT4 have voted to close your question as duplicate of .
And Anthropic Claude's contribution to the discussion was a condescending remark questioning your competence with COBOL.
Bard mentioned time-traveling UFOs for no relevant reason.
