Ever ask a question on SO? I tell my students to search there but never, ever ask a question. The unmitigated hostility is not what new developers need or deserve. ChatGPT won't humiliate you for asking a question that someone else has already asked.

If LLMs just copied stack overflow they'd respond to every question with "Closed as duplicate. Question already answered."

and link a slightly similar question, which's answers can't be used in your case, because of the small difference. also, it's outdated since four years.
