Will ChatGPT Replace Stack Overflow?

TL&DR: No. You can move on.

NANOG87 summary by John Kristoff prompted me to look at NANOG87 presentations, and one of them discussed ChatGPT and Network Engineering (video). I couldn’t resist the clickbait 😉

Like most using ChatGPT for something articles we’re seeing these days, the presentation is a bit too positive for my taste. After all, it’s all fine and dandy to claim ChatGPT generates working router configurations and related Jinja2 templates if you know what the correct configurations should look like and can confidently say “and this is where it made a mistake” afterwards.
