I was learning Golang nearly a decade ago while participating in a performance competition.. Asking questions about unsafe in Golang Nuts was nearly rage inducing.

IMHO Copilot Chat has picked up on these bad habits.

I've noticed a similar tendency in ChatGPT (answering a question that was never asked), but at least in ChatGPT it doesn't act all condescending towards you.

I literally cannot remember when last SO was useful time, due to the false positive identification of the XY problem.

At least with ChatGPT, it's much faster to get it to answer the question asked and not the question that was not asked.
