I often find that the top Stack Overflow answer doesn’t adequately answer my question, so it’s not faster for me.
For example, sometimes the top answer is long and requires a few minutes of reading, sometimes there are corrections in the replies that need to be read, and sometimes I don’t fully understand it and therefore need to read multiple replies.
This can easily take up 5 - 15 minutes, versus 1-5 minutes for ChatGPT.
Additionally, I find value in NOT having to keep myself from getting distracted by the tons of other highly interesting things on Stack Overflow. It can be nice to have that focused, text-only, distraction-free dialogue that ChatGPT provides.
