> I copy from Stack Overflow constantly.

I'm so tired of this kind of reference to Stack Overflow. I used SO for about 15 years, and still visit plenty these days.

I rarely, if ever, copied from Stack Overflow. But I sure learned a great deal from SO.

That's great, but millions of others copy from it.

And those are the people who love AI.

Yeah, but, I mean, those people generally aren't great programmers. "Why does it do that?" "Dunno, it was on stack overflow." was a fairly common code review problem long before "Why does it do that?" "Dunno, robot says so."
