Also Stack Overflow is very bad in reading
the signs of the times:

Generative AI is now integral to the
technologist workflow, yet many developers
are still skeptical. According to our 2024
#Developer Survey, 79% of respondents cited
misinformation as their primary ethical
concern regarding AI.
https://x.com/stackoverflow/

The survey is not so bad:
https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/ai

So they have it right in front of their
nose that they should shut down

their grammar nazi nonsense and find
new ways, alternative ways to harness

and curate knowlegde?

Bye
