That is very interesting. I can't think of a single time the Google built-in LLM has worked for me, let alone surprised and delighted me with a technical answer. I'm sure it's great at a lot of things, but it's not a replacement for SO yet.

Oh sorry you said Google. Yes I am speaking of ChatGPT, and I pay for GPT-4. It surprises and delights me on a regular basis. I have no doubt Google will catch up, but right now I think OpenAI is far out front.

I paid for ChatGPT for a while, but it was hit or miss with some Django stuff. I tried Copilot for the first time today, and I was absolutely blown away. I swear it's like it was reading my mind. I guess I wasn't feeding ChatGPT enough context.

Same. GPT-4 is amazing for a majority of coding tasks I throw at it.

With ChatGPT-4 I have stopped Googling and using SO for 95% of all programming related queries.

ChatGPT not only gets my specific problem but can produce workable code in many cases.
