So we’re now punishing other humans for failing to feed the AI. M’kay.
Welcome to your new master
I don’t get it. SO is a site where people help people with programming problems. What is wrong with using that data to better help people with programming through AI?
I use github copilot, and it wouldn’t be a good as it is, which is pretty good, unless it had been trained on such data.
People need to get over themselves and help the AI revolution, just like the luddites breaking the looms, you can’t stop change.
I mean there’s certainly aspects of gen AI I’m worried about but doing backend development for a living these days I would be fucking lying if I said I didn’t use chat GPT to get quick answers and examples for things that used to be easily googleable 5-10 years ago before SEO destroyed internet searching. And eve if I don’t find an answer or correct solution a lot the time the conversational aspect of it jogs my brain in a way that helps me arrive to a proper solution eventually in a way that endlessly Google searching doesn’t.
On top of that it saves time and theres no risk for people who are new from being flamed by the toxic parts of the user-base at stack overflow, which I feel is a lot bigger than people want to admit. I mean I’ll be happy going back to the way things used to be if Google stops being a glorified advertising firm, and makes searching usable again. I mean Ive literally been using bing and it’s a lot better than what it used be. And with copilot providing linked sources gets you the benefits of LLMs and standard internet searching instead having to choose one or the other.
Logging into use Google / Youtube can ONLY be around the corner – the enshitification has WON
Doubt deleting them will work. SO probably already had a snapshot
