In answer to the question, yes.

Stackoverflow has a human problem: one where the questions asked are scrutinized and criticized for the mere hint of duplication, or being "too easy to google". Humans will always add a layer of subjectivity, bias, and getting off-topic.

ChatGPT is non-judgmental and doesn't mind the same question to be asked over and over. It won't hold a grudge, use sarcasm, or offer a snide comment. Though it will provide a tidal wave of information, it's answers may be viewed with suspicion or seen as non-authoritative in some areas, but for code, it should prove fairly accurate. Time will tell.

"Interface" typically refers to the way in which two or more systems, devices, or pieces of software connect and communicate with each other. It can also refer to the point at which two or more things meet and interact, or to a user interface, which is the part of a software program that a person interacts with. For example, you might say "I'm having trouble interfacing my laptop and my printer."

On the other hand, "interact" refers to the action of communicating or exchanging information between two or more things. It implies a more active, reciprocal exchange between the participants. For example, you might say "The students were asked to interact with each other to build their communication skills."

So in summary, "interface" refers to the means of connecting and communicating, while "interact" refers to the actual act of communication or exchange of information.

HR is there to serve and protect the employer. That's it. They will be friendly and helpful when you start work at a company, because they are usually the first people you will meet and it is their job to orient you to the company and policies. After that, they are not your friend.
