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.

Bing Chat almost always is useless for me with these kinds of queries. A few days ago I asked for a tool that monitors to see if a website is up. I told it I needed the tool to be something I'd run locally - not an online service and not something I need to sign up for.
small nitpick but I thought it was just an icon but it turns out to be the button for switching light/dark mode. It would be great if you could replace it.
