No, the AI was trained the same stack overflow posts as humans would manually search out in the past.
Thus the effective difference is precisely that between an active attempt to understand and blindly copying since the AI is specifically there to introduce a stochastic opaqueness between truth (i.e. sufficiently curated training data) and interpretation of truth.

No, the difference is Stackoverflow is older and more established and AI is newer and demonized .
I’ve learned a lot of completely accurate information from AIs. More so than I would have with shitty condescending people.
You can use AI to think for you or you can use it to help you understand. Anything can be analyzed from multiple perspectives with AI, you just have to pursue that. Just like you would without it.
You think AI can’t tell you who wrote something? Or analyze comments? Or see how long ago something was posted? That’s showing the ignorance inherent in the anti-AI crusade.
