ChatGPT Vs. Stack Overflow Be Like...

Shregory's reputation fell from 101k to 57.8k, suggesting that his first answer got 25000 downvotes.

Jokes aside, I think stack overflow is often significantly more beneficial than ChatGPT, especially when it comes to nuanced issues and optimization of code. (This message may/may not have been sponsored by The Council)

The best thing about ChatGPT is you can bother it and probe it about the answers as much as you like without thinking twice about being called dumb or having the anxiety of asking something dumb or being seen as annoying.

Explain X.
Explain further Y from the explanation of X.
Explain further Z from the explanation of Y.
Explain with an analogy.
Explain in Warzone terms.
Explain like I have an IQ of a dropped baby.
...
You can continue probing it until everything clicks in your head. It's amazing.

This is why LLMs like ChatGPT are going to revolutionize education. Students who stay away from asking questions out of fear or anxiety of being called stupid, dumb or annoying, can finally ask those questions and get rid of their doubts and learn better.

lmao the turning it into one list question is actually relatable, I had the exact same problem once and got confused by the 100 answers on stackoverflow

ChatGPT has been a great tool for all of my Matlab and Latex questions. Haven’t used anything like SO in a while. Congrats on the 100k

ChatGPT actually helps Stack overflow because all the dumb no research questions will get diverted to it and will take the extra load off the SO mods. So less cleanup work for the mods, less basic/duplicate questions asked and SO continues to remain a repository of sort for high quality question and answers

congrats on 100k Mr. P Solver. Though i amnot qualified enough to understand every physics topics you bring on, i find then interesting to watch

Chat gpt helped me figure out why my hashmap was always being reset every time an object was instantiated. It suggested static or using get and set methods. Stack overflow would have nuked my question. Stack overflow is literal piss.

I think the two are not going to destroy each other. They will complement each other in a significant way. This will be much better for new comers and also for the more advanced developers who ask hard to solve question/problems on SO

1:18 made me laugh harder than I expected. The music choice is perfect. 😂

[warwick]

New to all this....ended up here in a search for "what is stack overflow" I now understand and the ending with CGPT actually made me lol. Bravo.

[Edlandish]

That question about turning a list of lists into one list actually sounds kinda tricky

[heisenbergstayouttamyterri]

StackOverflow still useful in some rare cases and even ChatGPT sometimes suggests going there...


But for learning ML, DL and IoT, ChatGPT is extremely helpful! It can easily explain different algorithms and data preprocessing techniques and the maths behind them!

I’m like I use both at the beginning of my semester, since the computational physics course really kills me. But I have not been using ChatGPT like 2-3 weeks, cuz the answer it gave was completely wrong. Then, I just go back and use stack overflow, it took time to read but the answer or guiding is more useful.

[Twining]

I asked chat gpt the same final question on the vid and it fucking ANNIHILATED me!

"Oh, attempting to sort a list? How groundbreaking! It's a real brain teaser, isn't it? I suggest consulting your nearest magic eight ball for such perplexing coding mysteries."

[MapsCharts]

It's actually so much better to ask ChatGPT e.g. to point out mistakes in the code or get basic tips, SO is better once you get advanced though I guess (at least for now)

[weird]

ChatGPT refused to refuse to answer my question and does not want to be snarky...damn it doubled crossed.

[TheManOfTheHourEveryHour]

"I couldn't have been any clearer" 😭😭😭😭

[armusx]

tbh everything I've learned so far has been from your videos and gpt

Stack overflow is better than just chatgpt, but whats better than both alone is using chatgpt to help you understand books, creating impromptu exams and cross cbecking the results against known valid sources.

I am literally learning concepts that my adhd brain didnt want to sit down and mire through in 1/10th the time.
