    programming and Linux

    I’m seeing almost daily the fuck-ups resulting from somebody trying to fix something with ChatGPT, then coming to the forums because it didn’t work.

      I agree that happens, but it has nothing to do with what op said. They didn’t want a solution, they wanted a link to where the problem was being discussed so they could work out a solution.

      People seem to really confure the difference between asking an llm how to patch a boat vs where did people discuss ways to patch a boat.

      Most likely because if they came directly with their problem to whatever platform you are on, they would have been scolded at for not trying hard enough to solve it on their own. Or close the post because it has already been asked.
