# Thing is,
a lot of code is being written by people who barely understand what they're doing and just glue stuff from GitHub together with stuff found on StackOverflow...hence all the bloated, insecure crap that passes as apps these days.

Using ChatGPT to produce code isn't much different...

# ChatGPT is actually partly getting its data from exactly the sort of things you just described
It's puking up garbage it's been fed a lot of the time.

# That's exactly my point...
Shit code's being created either way, with the attitude that whatever doesn't get caught at the testing phase can always be fixed in an update...

# Stack Overflow can be great if you take the time to
read through and understand the threads / learn to write a good question.

ChatGPT is googling it for you, with no thought for what happens if the parasite kills the host and no new questions get created on Stack Overflow for it to read on your behalf. And no uber-nerds to correct it on giving a bad answer.

# I'm not dissing SO...
I've found answers to problems on there (although I've often had to filter out a lot of crap), but some people use it like those homework cheating websites, whilst being paid to supposedly know what they're doing.
