It's getting weird that people cite ChatGPT to settle debates. Even on places like HN where supposedly people have a technical background and know they shouldn't blindly trust an LLM as a source of truth. Even with the banners it has warning about this.

Technical knowledge and wisdom are two very different things. There is an excess of the former here, on this site, in this field, but a comical dearth of the latter.

I have but one upvote to give you, good sir/madam, when I wish I had 100.

I would argue that there is not an excess of the former. A lot of the so-called techies don't know tech either.

That's fair. I suppose it's more that there's a worship of knowledge outside the context of wisdom.

There are wise people here, they are just lurkers though (wisely).
