It seems like most of us all have the same issue with SO. However, is there a viable alternative?

ChatGPT has replaced most of my usage of StackOverflow/Google.

It probably won't last forever without people generating new answers somewhere else, but it answers a lot of things correctly, and the things it gets wrong are easy enough to verify.

I really hope ChatGPT causes StackOverflow to change.
