> I don't see much difference here at all, the only habit to change is learning to trust an AI solution as much as a Stack Overflow answer. Though the benefit of SO is each comment is timestamped and there are alternative takes, corrections, caveats in the comments.

That's a pretty big benefit, considering the feedback was by people presumably with relevant expertise/experience to contribute (in the pre-LLM before-time).




The comments have the same value as the answers themselves. Kinda like annotations and errata on a book. It's like seeing "See $algorithm in The Art of Programming V1" in a comment before a complex code.
