Comment on Ask HN: Should Google be concerned with ChatGPTparent

Comments

Yes. I spend the whole weekend, trying to find information on some caching and invalidation configuration for Django. I googled almost half a day, I get what I need to set up, but what I am working on is quite custom, and neither Stackoverflow or Google where of great help. There were decent answers, but they were not giving me the whole picture.

Then on Monday I decided to plug in the question into ChatGPT, within 10 minutes I got a better answer than half a day Googling (including code snippets). I could adapt my questions to better fit my customization need. And when I wasn't sure about some setting, I could ask ChatGPT to explain me why I should use this setting, and what it was good for. It gave me the whole picture and some more.

ChatGPT is like a personal consultant which absolutely rivals StackOverflow.

What were you trying to do?
