    The irony of it all is SO making deals for AI to scrape their site for machine learning but in doing so more people are using chatgpt and copilot more because it’s easier and just as accurate. AI/ML is really going to destroy these websites and yet it’s the websites signing off on their own death sentences.

      It’s called selling out. I doubt they have any illusions about the future of these platforms, they just don’t care as long as they can cash out.

    I’ve been on SO like ten times altogether since ChatGPT came out. It’s so much nicer than the condescending pricks of Stack Overflow. My favourite is when some genius links a question as a duplicate of something that’s vaguely similar.

      This question was already answered 10 years ago in a completely different version of the programming language to the one you’re using, and we know it doesn’t work anymore, in fact hasn’t for 8 years, but we’re going to close it anyway because screw you.

      Also you should be doing it in Rust anyway

    Down voted. If you’re just going to post a screenshot, you must include a link to the source. This is a link sharing platform.

    I hope every contractor and employee who has ever worked for that shit hole goes bankrupt, loses their home in a foreclosure auction and spends the rest of their life begging for handouts on the street.

    It’s also around the time they did away with their jobs board thing isn’t it? I got a job through it in 2021 and somewhere after that they sunset it, which was an insane business decision because it was the best job search platform out there.

    Chat GPT is wonderful as a search engine for SO. It regurgitates the answers in a format easier to incorporate into your own project.

    The thing I’m worried about is a lack of new answers. You need data to train an LLM, what to do if nobody is producing it?

    Wonder where chatgpt will get its training data in the future, as it’s known not to extrapolate well. Where will it learn new frameworks, languages, … from?
