This is why people use AI so heavily. Because no matter how bad or ill formed a question is, it wo answer it the most "caring" way possible, and never berate you for it being a stupid question, common sense, etc (as long as it is about some forbidden topic of course)

On top of that, the AI will take a plain no-context error message and give it a college try to figure it out. A lot of times it will be right.

On SO that experience is going to be “we closed this because you didn’t form a good question.”

And of course, that’s true, but it demonstrates the wide gulf in user experience between the two platforms.

If SO wants to be good, it will encourage a back-and-forth: "are you trying X?" but it doesn't want to be good. Private equity doesn't understand going concerns.

I think I’d like to see a site where people posted their chat results that ended in a successful resolution. Just for isolated bugs or library use questions. Would not be useful for a lot of the internal work I do but maybe saving those internally would be useful inside a company

Or another LLM layer that takes a chat and formats it into a StackOverflow style Q/A post
