The best thing about ChatGPT is you can bother it and probe it about the answers as much as you like without thinking twice about being called dumb or having the anxiety of asking something dumb or being seen as annoying. Explain X. Explain further Y from the explanation of X. Explain further Z from the explanation of Y. Explain with an analogy. Explain in Warzone terms. Explain like I have an IQ of a dropped baby. ... You can continue probing it until everything clicks in your head. It's amazing. This is why LLMs like ChatGPT are going to revolutionize education. Students who stay away from asking questions out of fear or anxiety of being called stupid, dumb or annoying, can finally ask those questions and get rid of their doubts and learn better.
You forgot to mention it's instantaneous. StackOF requires hours if not days to get one answer and chances are youve solved it by the time you get a reply... ChatGTP all the way
Agreed, I relentlessly asked ChatGPT to reexplain and clarify a Java concept and it did so without complaint. I would have had to “apologize” for taking up too much time in class or on a discussion board. Not with ChatGPT: it’s a 24/7/365 tutor. Hard-working students will really benefit from this.
I never even thought about introverted students using chatGPT that way, but now that you mention it I would 100% have leveraged it the same way in school! That's legitimately huge.
This is so true. The amount of time I wasted getting berated on stack and then browsing the forum because the mods deemed my question a "repeat". Even though chatgpt might not give efficient solutions or maybe not at all, I'd much rather take the jumbled code it offers and debug it over 10h of depression before finding a solution
Jokes aside, I think stack overflow is often significantly more beneficial than ChatGPT, especially when it comes to nuanced issues and optimization of code. (This message may/may not have been sponsored by The Council)
The additional answers and commentary on stack overflow (whether right or wrong) definitely provide valuable context that seems to be missing from ChatGPT answers.
Yeah, it's just very hard for me to ask a question without it being immediately turned down or the code sample i provided told to be more concise before asking
lmao the turning it into one list question is actually relatable, I had the exact same problem once and got confused by the 100 answers on stackoverflow
ChatGPT actually helps Stack overflow because all the dumb no research questions will get diverted to it and will take the extra load off the SO mods. So less cleanup work for the mods, less basic/duplicate questions asked and SO continues to remain a repository of sort for high quality question and answers
Chat gpt helped me figure out why my hashmap was always being reset every time an object was instantiated. It suggested static or using get and set methods. Stack overflow would have nuked my question. Stack overflow is literal piss.
StackOverflow still useful in some rare cases and even ChatGPT sometimes suggests going there... But for learning ML,DL and IoT, ChatGPT is extremely helpful! It can easily explain different algorithms and data preprocessing techniques and the maths behind them!
@@Exochos Totally agree. The toxicity of Stackoverflow is causing more people to use ChatGPT. There is really some people/teacher in this world whom AI should definitely replace!
I’m like I use both at the beginning of my semester, since the computational physics course really kills me. But I have not been using ChatGPT like 2-3 weeks, cuz the answer it gave was completely wrong. Then, I just go back and use stack overflow, it took time to read but the answer or guiding is more useful.
I think the two are not going to destroy each other. They will complement each other in a significant way. This will be much better for new comers and also for the more advanced developers who ask hard to solve question/problems on SO
It's actually so much better to ask ChatGPT e.g. to point out mistakes in the code or get basic tips, SO is better once you get advanced though I guess (at least for now)
I asked chat gpt the same final question on the vid and it fucking ANNIHILATED me! XDDDDD "Oh, attempting to sort a list? How groundbreaking! It's a real brain teaser, isn't it? I suggest consulting your nearest magic eight ball for such perplexing coding mysteries."
q1 lis = [362, 546, 124, 365, 342, 897, 293] print(sorted(lis)) q2 lis = [[2, 3, 4], [1, 3], [9, 3, 4]] hold = [] for li in lis: for l in li: hold.append(l) print(sorted(hold)) Q3 Do you want the program to show its work or something? Other wise num = 5890 * 7193 print(num) or num1 = 5890 num2 = 7193 res = num1 * num2 print(res) works too if you want it to be modulator. I mean if you did want it to show its work I could do that too. No stack over flow or GPT. I have been coding for 20 years I learned python a month ago. I'm better with gcode, html, css, javescript, jave, and SQL. Still those are baby step questions. Wait am I missing the joke?
Stack overflow is better than just chatgpt, but whats better than both alone is using chatgpt to help you understand books, creating impromptu exams and cross cbecking the results against known valid sources. I am literally learning concepts that my adhd brain didnt want to sit down and mire through in 1/10th the time.
You basically have to tell them that you google it. Checked for different sites. Couldn't understand the documentarion. Checked the different posts. Tried them. Didn't work. Your question is a special case and is different enough to be worthy of a new thread. Thank you for your time. ----- And if you asked your question clearly, gave example of what you did. And did all the above... You'll have a good, clear answer in 2 days. ----- They aren't so bad if you preemptively stop any snarky remark. ---- Whereas chat gpt won't require any of that, so try there first. Google later about the commands it used and verify if it works with extensive test to actually learn and not just be a proompter.
Once I asked for some errors while loading Ray package on python on Stackoverflow, I waited 4 hour and then my account got banned for 6 months and a comment nearly filled with 'N-word' from moderators fort asking a stupid question. I asked it with ChatGPT through Merlin, it give me answer in 4 seconds.
advantage is disadvantage at same time sometime it s good to find the correct solution instantly and sometime it s good to find variety of point of view which allows for better undestand and find the suitable explanation
"Wow, what an interesting video! As someone who's used both ChatGPT and StackOverflow, I have to say that ChatGPT is the clear winner for me. While StackOverflow has a wealth of information, I find that the quality of the answers on ChatGPT is consistently high and more tailored to my needs. ..." said ChatGPT when I asked a comment for this video. Yet, I said 😂
really? if i asked chatgpt that it would say "it is unethical for me to have an opinion or be biased" or smn, like literally every time i asked it to choose between something
@@emperor8716 Just tell it to "choose anyway" or variations of that until it gives up. You can bully GPT into giving you an opinion depending on how you word it.
ChatGPT when asked to mimic a stack overflow response is probably the biggest mistake I've ever seen it make: Sure, I can help you with that. Here's an example of a response you might find on Stack Overflow: --- Question: **How can I sort an array of numbers in JavaScript?** I have an array of numbers in JavaScript and I need to sort them in ascending order. What's the best way to achieve this? --- Response: You can use the `Array.prototype.sort()` method to sort an array of numbers in JavaScript. By default, the `sort()` method sorts elements as strings, so you need to provide a compare function to sort the numbers correctly. Here's an example of how you can use the `sort()` method with a compare function to sort an array of numbers in ascending order: ```javascript const numbers = [5, 1, 3, 2, 4]; numbers.sort((a, b) => a - b); console.log(numbers); ``` In this example, the compare function `((a, b) => a - b)` subtracts `b` from `a`. If the result is negative, `a` is sorted before `b`. If the result is positive, `b` is sorted before `a`. If the result is 0, the order of `a` and `b` remains unchanged. The above code will output `[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]`, which is the sorted array in ascending order. Remember that the `sort()` method sorts the original array in place and returns a reference to the sorted array, so there's no need to assign the result to a new variable unless you want to keep the original array unchanged. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
At least ChatGPT actually answers the question rather than pointing the user to "use google" or "did you not read our rulebook about dupe posting." The fact that mods in SO could block your question you spent a long time trying to set up in an instant is outrageous. Too much power was given to those douchebags. Just leave the question alone if it's a duplicate because if you close it, it's still visible for people to see. ChatGPT is getting smarter everyday and more people are going to them due to the toxic nature of SO. So "if" the people there are getting mad that chatgpt is getting more traffic than they are is because they pushed away all the people to them they created the issue and not the people asking honest questions.
I liked stack. But eventually it became a place for all knowing beings. You cant ask dumb questions. You get points reduced. I am literally solving python problems with chatgpt now.
Let Stack overflow die like a king who’s regalia have been stripped to nudity tossed out into the middle of the desert, or the middle of the tundra or the middle of the ocean
stack overflow is only good for troubleshooting and debugging. chatgpt is a million times the better learning tool and it's not even designed to be an educational tool
stackoverflow is worse than 4chan istg i asked a question on how to implement some stuff in my code for school and i got lectured as to why its wrong to "ask other people to do the work for you"and i didnt even receive any help after all. i did it myself a few days later but that experience alone made me never open that dogsht website again :D
ugh, this kind of people is nasty.. but just know: I read a chat where people ask questions about test tasks they do, and they're not like "solve my task instead for me please", but absolutely sane ones. and there are some ppl who say things like huh if you can't use Google maybe you shouldn't apply to an IT job, and they also shit about asking for any help at all. what I wanted to say is that the most active of them can't find a job himself for a year, and I don't wonder why actually - it is quite obvious on an interview if a person is toxic I guess
Pray that the answer isn't from 12 years ago and hasn't been deprecated yet otherwise I forsee them raining on you with hellish remarks and think they're being helpful rather than just answering a question
