Certainly it’s gotten worse as we’ve all seen the news probably. When gpt4 came to the API it was impressive at times. A caveat always remained: don’t blindly trust it, but that goes for stack overflow replies too.

Ohh cool, a downvote and smug reply. Go back to reddit or something.

I’ve seen that in the news. I haven’t experienced it at all. In fact I’m getting far better results now than I ever did before, though I suspect that’s mostly on me - experience using almost any tool will improve the output.
