Hi,

I personally like that ChatGPT tolerates all my
sloppiness, since I am always in a hurry, don't
have time for some bullshit.

And I pay the bill by myself, if ChatGPT doesn't
understand me. I don't need some moderator to
force some ideal into my throat, anyway

most of the time ChatGPT understands me
nevertheless. Has probably to do how
the artificial intelligenc of ChatGPT works:

Attention Is All You Need
https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762

But stack overflow gets also drained by other
developments like for example:

- Thousends of tutorial web sites:
   There is a real cottage industry, of
   commercial web sites, that explain you
   web programming etc.. They are commercial
   since they show banner ads.

- Thousends of tutorial videos:
   There is a similar cottage industry
   for videos. Also commercial because
   the show ads. Even google search
   doesn't show stack overflow as first
   result anymore.

- Declining Business Model Job Search
   With "low code", the number of programmer
   jobs as we know it will go down. A website
   specialized on job advertising will automatically
   loose revenue:
