GenAI is fast at doing things that have already been done. I spent 4 hours trying to find a fix for an Apache server issue. I couldn't find anything on StackOverflow, so I tried ChatGPT and Claude. After 4 hours of telling me "THIS version will work!", it's still not working.

How do I report a Stackoverflow problem?

Use the “Report a problem” button on this page and choose what's not working. Reports are anonymous and update the live status and outage map in real time.
