If this is true, then we should prepare to be shout at by chatgpt why we didnt knew already that simple error.

ChatGPT now just says “read the docs!” To every question

Hey ChatGPT, how can I ...

"Locking as this is a duplicate of [unrelated question]"

Chatgpt is going to get trained on thinking those two questions are duplicates and end up giving bullshit outdated answers to every question.

And then links to a similar sounding but ultimately totally unrelated site.

Stack overflow was the pioneer of hallucinations.

Nah, it just marks your question as duplicate.

Already had that happen with perplexity, like, no mate, I’m asking you.

Always love those answers, well if you read the 700 page white paper on this one command set in one module then you would understand… do you think I have the time to read 37000 pages of bland ass documentation yearly on top of doing my actual job? Come the fuck on.

I guess some of these guys have so many heads on their crews that they don’t have much work to do anymore but that’s not the case for most

Honestly, that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

You joke.

This would have been probably early last year? Had to look up how to do something in fortran (because fortran) and the answer was very much in the voice of that one dude on the Intel forums who has been answering every single question for decades(?) at this point. Which means it also refused to do anything with features newer than 1992 and was worthless.

Tried again while chatting with an old work buddy a few months back and it looks like they updated to acknowledging f99 and f03 exist. So assume that was all stack overflow.
