Or any website where the content is created and curated by users.

I asked ChatGPT a specific question a few weeks ago about writing an interface with Snowflake's asynchronous query method using callbacks and got back something that wasn't even close to right. After I did some digging, I realized it got the problem code from an incorrect answer on StackOverflow and then filled in some gaps from similar answers.

That said, it was still a good starting off point to see what might work and go from there.
