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.

So the problem you're trying to solve is that some posts don't get an immediate response? I don't think that's as big a problem as you think it is. Perlmonks is not a support website -- if you need a fast answer, it's obviously the wrong place to go.

Also, Perlmonks doesn't need to adjust itself for the 21st century; it's quite comfortable hanging out at the end of the last century, with a simple interface, but extremely valuable content.

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Please read these before you post! —
