Anecdata: I've started asking Bing these questions instead of SO. E.g., it recently gave me a very helpful answer for debugging a Spring issue and cited its sources. What it didn't do was present me with a whole lot of moderation cruft.

I can ask for recommendations for tools and libraries, which IIRC SO disallows.

I also don't have to pray my question will get enough vote attention or worry that I posted it at the wrong time of day.

On the whole, going the GPT route has been more satisfying in all ways.
