It didn’t change, the functionality was never there. The API only ever existed in that answer, otherwise a Microsoft API would have left traces elsewhere on the Internet.
Why would someone make up an API in an SO answer?
I'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.

On the other hand, it's a great way to get a contact at SO, assuming anyone other than lawyers finds out about it.
Next step is to get the ChatGPT clones/alternatives to post alternative answers and let them all upvote the best one.

Source: Ages ago I had a personal domain based on a longstanding nick that happened to partially coincide with the name of a major motion picture studio. That it was a paralegal who called me said they weren't anxious to take it seriously, and all they were really after was just getting me to say it was nothing to do with them so they had me on record in case I later did make it something to do with them. No big deal, but it wasn't like if I had a treatment burning a hole in my pocket I could've parlayed the conversation into a chance to submit it. And even at that, I doubt this will be anything like so simple and nonadversarial.
This just feels like the wrong way around, I go to stackoverflow for stuff chatgpt can't answer. If anything, the right tool would be something which turns chatgpt threads into a stackoverflow question. (I don't actually think that is a good idea, just that it would make more sense)

I mostly no longer contribute to stack overflow. I don’t ask questions, because people take a very carefully explained, explicit question and post irrelevant stupid comments on it (“why are you doing this?”) instead of answering the question. I don’t answer questions, because people upvote wrong answers and vindictively downvote answers to the actual question (which is why everyone posts comments instead of answering…
"why are you doing this" isn't a " irrelevant stupid comment ". It's because most askers are really asking a XY question. They ask for Y, since that's their immediate problem, but solving X is their real goal. So it's a question meant to make it easier to help, when doing Y seems a bit weird. https://xyproblem.info/ > The people on stack overflow, by and large, are not nice From your long rant, I'm not sure if you're…
Please see the comments under the OP. While the question is technically sound (I've needed this exact thing for a REPL I was writing), the comments are perfectly useless, self-entitled and discouraging drivel. Notable example:
> This is an incredibly odd thing to ask
(emphasis theirs). How is this even slightly odd. Are REPLs odd? Of course not.
