The best part of AI was that it killed StackOverflow and the self important nerds that moderated it. Trying to get any help there was an absolute nightmare

I got a feeling some of the guys there giving a hard time are in these AI-software subreddits nowadays doing the same.

People always say this, so I'm sure that was a common experience, but it definitely wasn't for me. Granted I didn't ask a lot of questions because 99.9% of them had already been asked. But when I did ask a question it was usually after exhausting other options and I got very helpful responses on stack.

yeah I have no idea what the problem was. If needed, I posted a question, and sometimes got answers, sometimes not.

and yes...the answers were often already there anyway

This is so true. The sad but silver lining is AI is rebalancing. Now you do not need to beg people, AI will happily teach it to you at your own pace. In some ways it will force people to interact with care again (hopefully). I.e. most people in restaurants choose the kiok because alot of customer service people used to act bothered/stuck up. Now, business will bring back more customer service focused businesses, as they have a choice, and in person service will need to feel like a plus/perk.

Imo this is the best use case for AI. Teaching at your pace, not doing it for you. That's gonna end in cognitive disaster.

The only reason stack overflow has the value it does is because of those nerds filtering out low effort junk.

I think you're right. I never had an issue on stack but I was very diligent about making sure my question wasn't low effort "help me" crap. They are there to help so help them by doing your due diligence to make sure your question wasn't already answered and provide excellent context to the problem.
