Researchers have found that large language models (LLMs) tend to parrot buggy code when tasked with completing flawed snippets.

I guess that’s one advantage of stack overflow, sometimes you need a guy to tell you the entire basis of your question is dumb and wrong.
The disadvantage of Stack Overflow is that everybody wants to be that guy, all the fucking time.
How do I [blank]? “But why do you want that?” Wrong. Next.
