A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ironic, since one of ChatGPT's biggest weaknesses is that it's an archive of the old ways of doing things. You can't filter by time on ChatGPT, and ChatGPT isn't being retrained on the latest knowledge live. These aren't inherent to GPT, so it's possible that a future iteration will overcome these issues.
On ChatGPT, if a solution doesn't work, you can ask in real time for a different one. On SO, your post just gets locked for being a duplicate.
Asking in real-time wouldn't help in this scenario (e.g. some mirror is no longer accessible). If anything, it'd just lead you further astray and waste more time, because GPT's knowledgebase doesn't have this knowledge.
