Pretty clearly a SO problem and not a more general problem. Whenever I ask AI a programming question, it usually knows less than I do, so answer sites like SO are clearly needed.
For example, I just asked ChatGPT and Copilot about how to do something with the Unreal Python API, and they both generated total bullshit code that wasn’t even based on the actual API. I gave Copilot a link to the API docs I was looking at, and then it generated more plausible, but still wrong code. I ended up spending a couple hours experimenting and figuring it out myself. AI definitely does not replace SO.
