I didn't say that people should go on the internet and pick the first forum post either ; that would be like trusting whatever chatgpt is handing you :p

My point was more on the "people are lazy" side of things, but yeah you have to stay critical of both chatgpt and forum posts.

I agree, I just think that those lazy people will do what they do regardless of where they get their info.

To butcher a saying; blame the craftsman, not the tools.

I half expect that, if enough programmers use ChatGPT-written code verbatim, someday it's going to lead to Skynet. I mean, what's to stop ChatGPT from inserting bits of extra code to be used for its own distributed processing botnet?

A lack of intelligence and awareness?

You've never written code, have you?
