I hope no one actually trusts that for real answers, just based on what we've seen it try to do already.
Lol just yesterday I saw an eight year old answer on SO neatly solving my problem, except the API was hallucinated. Humans have been hallucinating APIs for far longer.

It's a gargantuan task to clean up low quality post and fight back low quality copy paste blog spam from a community that has become resume padding for the masses. The community has spoken, to the extent whether the majority of usage becomes the defacto standard, and basically filtered out all but the most basic coding issues that are just one peg above homework assignments.
Well, I wouldn’t say it was the community speaking. This is what the operators wanted because the old way was not “welcoming” enough and didn’t contribute enough to growth. Hey, it’s a business. I get it.

> They're the one saying people at SO aren't nice. They never said that. They said that stupid comments get posted.
I quote it in my parent post directly. So yes, they said that.

Here's an experiment: Visit new questions: https://stackoverflow.com/questions?tab=Newest Scroll until you find an upvoted question. Count how many downvotes you see on the way. You can often get to page 2 with dozens of downvotes before the first upvote. Hard mode: Scroll until the net upvotes are more than the net downvotes.
What should that prove? If anything, it backs up my point: the amount of noise is huge. But I tried: scrolled two pages. Most questions were at 0 votes. 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/questions/75396340/java-17-switch-...
It's someone who does not understand switch and wants to know why their code doesn't match with their understanding of switch. There's no given reason for the downvote.
ChatGPT at least takes the effort to make sense of the question and verifies that this is what the asker intended.
It won’t truly match the experience, unless it can inject veiled insults into the answers. /s
I don't get this hate-boner HN has for SO. Have you tried being active there? It's super easy to not have your question closed, just do the minimum amount of effort. And if you're active, you'll see the thousands of similar questions arrive every day. If you're active in the review queues, you will see all the spam, broken answers, non-SO fitting questions etc. people churn out. I see people complain about how their…

Tell him what? It is annoying that they don't return the output instantly. This does throttle usage, so I can see why they do it, but it is annoying.
The chatgpt output comes in chunks from openai's servers themselves, it can't get computed instantly. There's no way for this plugin to do what you want it to do.
