On: Generative AI coding tools and agents do not work for me

Oh, I missed that. I also missed that about StackOverflow, although I wasn't active there. It sounds like the motto of SO was "Solve problems!" instead of "Teach people how to solve problems!".

It kinda went downhill at some point. But currently:

> And ChatGPT never closes your question without answer because it (falsely) thinks it's a duplicate of a different question from 13 years ago

ChatGPT acts exactly opposite to the SO mods.

> But it does give you a ready to copy paste answer instead of a 'teach the man how to fish' answer.

Here it acts exactly like what SO mods like.

The other comments are mostly people thinking this is about ChatGPT...

Alas, someone bungled the incentive system and a closed question counts as a solved problem
