Unsurprising as StackOverflow has exactly the same problem.

There are lots of answers that are flat out wrong 5+ years after they were answered. There is no way to go back and "unmark" that answer.

> Modern C++ is really a different language and yet there is a lot of not modern code out there that AIs don't know is bad.

This is a human problem and why I won't use C++ anymore. Instead of "modern C++" we needed a new language to replace C++ and leave the old nastiness behind. We'll see if any of the new replacements like Carbon get any traction.




You can downvote wrong SO answers, and there is a way to sort that gives new votes more priority.
