I do my own research and only ask when I am sufficiently sure that the solution is not trivially discovered (i.e., I don't waste the time of other experts)." --- yes, but it shouldn't be like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld where to get soup you have to humbly present yourself and move diligently to the right without violating protocol. | |
| Jan 22 at 10:02 | comment | added | janw | @WeijunZhou I fully agree, I didn't want to imply a contradiction there. This is mostly by preference (and due to the obscurity of some frameworks I find myself using). I think that LLMs can be quite useful, but they are just another tool that sometimes gives good solutions, and sometimes doesn't. It is up to the user to learn to wield it properly. | |
| Jan 22 at 9:43 | comment | added | Weijun Zhou | Upvoted, but not using LLMs to solve problems is a personal choice. You can use LLMs to assist in solving problems and still remain fully logical and understand the reasoning as long as you have critical thinking. I do it all the time. I use LLMs for my research alongside SO, that doesn't change SO is the most reliable source for me just as for you. | |

| Jan 22 at 9:39 | comment | added | Lundin | "We tried complaining on meta, wrote dozens of well-conceived proposals, pointed out obvious flaws in the company's agenda -- but it was mostly met with silence. Instead, yet another broken feature was pushed out, and long-standing conventions were broken." This has been the modus operandi by the company since long before 2019 even, all the way back to the "Documentation project" and various strange GUI changes before that. Here's me ranting about it back in 2018 when things had already started to go bad: meta.stackoverflow.com/a/373471/584518. | |
| Jan 22 at 1:09 | comment | added | Silvio Mayolo | Yep! It's not AI that's killing Stack. It's several years of intentionally alienating the core community with monumentally bad decisions. All we can do now is walk away and watch the fireworks from a safe distance. - Sincerely, A fellow disenfranchised decade-old former Stack contributor :) | |
