•  A Purdue University study found that the ChatGPT OpenAI bot gave incorrect answers to programming questions half the time. 

•  However, 39.34% of participants preferred the ChatGPT responses due to their completeness and well-formulated language style. 

•  The study also showed that users can only identify errors in ChatGPT responses when they are obvious. 

•  Participants prefer ChatGPT's responses because of its polite language, articulated textbook-style responses, and comprehensiveness. 

•  The study is intended to complement the in-depth guidance and linguistic analysis of ChatGPT responses. 

•  The authors note that ChatGPT responses contain more "driving attributes" but do not describe risks as often as Stack Overflow posts.

When you put 4 spaces at the start of each line, it renders as a code block. Are you doing that on purpose? I don't see why you would want your comments to use a monospace font.

In addition, in Sync for Lemmy, it wraps words in the middle of them which makes it odd to read. Its even worse in a web browser, causing the user to need to scroll to read each line.
