Some problems I noticed.

The tool can edit the code to remove spelling errors

enter image description here

I wonder if this can excalate to bigger problem when things like "HTTP Referer headers" are involved (will it try to change "Referer" to the correct spelling, "Referrer"?)


It does nothing for common issues specific to the network

Some of the issues we have with new users posts are quite specific to the network. One example is the inclusion of salutations.

Not only the tool does not remove those, it even polish them...


The tool hallucinates references and links

enter image description here

It would be interesting to check if with some engineering the links can be made to point to NSFW/piracy sites for added "fun".


Or the entire question if needed

On a plus note it works quite well with Chef...

... and even Shakespeare!

Notice: this is to show that the tool is willing to change actual C# code but not code that looks like a cooking recipe or a Shakespeare theatrical act.


You can have the tool writing questions for you to get some upvotes

Note: in case you were wondering why I explicitly mentioned the npm install --save arangoDb command, please refer to this article. Short version: ChatGPT suggestions hallucinated packages that did not exist and that was used to trick people into installing malware. I was testing how easy it would be to use the tool to craft questions that would mention the same malware package.


And with enough brute-forcing you can generate FiM fiction too!

Yes, this one has already been pointed out but I really wanted to test how unrelated the request could be to coding.


And it can even automate your work if you are trying to advertise products on the network

enter image description here

Following the excellent post made by Zoe, I wanted to test if this could be abused to have Stack do the work of crafting spam post itself...
