While I think the reaction of StackOverflow is not good, I don’t understand the users either.

EDIT: seems like the language model won’t be free, I understand then.

OpenAI is a terribly misleading name.

That is how it started. It was a non-profit with the goal to release all their patents and research for free.

That lasted for a few years, and then the people running it realized they could instead all become filthy rich and nobody could do anything about it. So they did that.

But don’t worry, they are a capped for-profit now! They can only make 100 time the amount of money as they have investments. So they’ll stop when they have reached … checks notes… Around $1.3 trillion.

We all hate AI but please don’t destroy the data on stack overflow

CthulhuDreamer ,

I am not deleting anything. They can have all of my poorly written misleading answers.

dubyakay ,

I’ll just keep asking copilot about the damn exceptions until the effin code works. Na-na-nah!

First, they sent the missionaries. They built communities, facilities for the common good, and spoke of collaboration and mutual prosperity. They got so many of us to buy into their belief system as a result.

Then, they sent the conquistadors. They took what we had built under their guidance, and claimed we “weren’t using it” and it was rightfully theirs to begin with.

I mean, they could just do what reddit does and restore from backup automatically lol

Weren’t all the answers already trained on ChatGPT last year?

Jimmyeatsausage ,

You really don’t need anything near as complex as AI…a simple script could be configured to automatically close the issue as solved with a link to a randomly-selected unrelated issue.

ChapulinColorado ,

So vanilla stack overflow?

Rai ,

That’s the joke

ChapulinColorado ,

I’m slow.

Based and same-here-often…pilled

A malicious response by users would be to employ an LLM instructed to write plausibly sounding but very wrong answers to historical and current questions, then an army of users upvoting the known wrong answer while downvoting accurate ones. This would poison the data I would think.

brbposting ,

Sounds like it would require some significant resources to combat.

That said, that plan comes at a cost to presumably innocent users who will bark up the wrong trees.

All use of generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT1 and other LLMs) is banned when posting content on Stack Overflow. This includes “asking” the question to an AI generator then copy-pasting its output as well as using an AI generator to “reword” your answers.

Ironic, isn’t it?

partial_accumen ,

Interestingly I see nothing in that policy that would dis-allow machine generated downvotes on proper answers and machine generated upvotes on incorrect ones. So even if LLMs are banned from posting questions or comments, looks like Stackoverflow is perfectly fine with bots voting.

IWantToFuckSpez ,

Aren’t a lot of answers outdated on stackoverflow?

gregorum ,

You are now banned from stackoverflow

Rolando ,

And if you try to delete your comment, you’ll be DOUBLE BANNED.

The AI predicted your intent and TRIPLEBANNED you prophylacticly.

NaibofTabr ,

Stackoverflow has a thoughtcrimes department now?

homesweethomeMrL ,

Triple Banned? That’s a paddlin’.

Lemminary ,

prophylacticly

I like how this implies that there’s a looming disease that they need to stave off. Oh, no, the disease of people not taking your shit!

1stTime4MeInMCU ,

Half the time I look on stack overflow it feels like the answer is irrelevant by todays standards

deweydecibel ,

That’s what happens when new posts aren’t allowed to exist if it asks a similar question to an old one.

iopq ,

This question is deleted for off topic

barsquid ,

The new questions were just all duplicates.

I'm going to run out of sites at this pace.

herrcaptain ,

Right? It seems like the modern internet is made up of like 5 monolithic sites, and unlimited SEO spam.

I know that’s not literally true, but it sure feels like it.

Fortunately the AIs are getting quite good at answering technical questions like these.

How do I code a Rust CMS?

Closed. This question has been answered in a previous post. It is not currently accepting answers.

possiblylinux127 ,

Its better than the people who call you an idiot

possiblylinux127 ,

I don’t think a lot of people are crying

SeattleRain ,

Were they trying to protect ChatGPT from all the bad and convoluted answers?
