I have an idea! What if PerlMonks would build ChatGPT into the website so when someone posts something that has a question mark in it, the entire post would be fed into ChatGPT and its response would be posted as the first reply in the thread. This would ensure that people get an immediate response. Sometimes there isn't a lot of activity. Now, of course, if people feel that ChatGPT's automatic answer is incomplete or just flat out wrong, they could correct it or complete it with ideas. But I think, it would be a good idea to have ChatGPT's answer in each thread. What do you think?

And just to make things clear, I think, the answer provided by ChatGPT should be copied verbatim and posted as text on PerlMonks, not just a link or a suggestion or whatever, because links cannot be trusted. We're talking about thousands of links. You can't guarantee that those links will stay alive in the future. So, any automatic answer by ChatGPT should be copied and saved on the site if you decide to implement this feature. And I think, it would be very helpful. This move would help bring PerlMonks.com into the 21st century.
