  Does it tell you to Google the problem and then downvote you?

    Hence recursion since Google just takes you back, which leads to stack overflow because there is no exit condition.

      This bullshit happens too often lmao

      “Googles problem, finds post”

      “Why are you asking this use Google”

      Gee, thanks

      Which would be especially messed up if your original question was about recursion.

  Stack Overflow is unique as a page, in the sense that its contributions are under a license that allows for reuse (Creative Commons Share-Alike) as long as the individual users are properly credited. Does this mean that OverflowAI keeps the credit metadata and knows who wrote each individual part of an answer?

    AI doesn’t work that way. No one wrote “part of the answer.” It’s more like each contributor casted a vote on what the next token should be and it randomly picks one of the top ten voted tokens. (Very very roughly.)

    • csolisr@communities.azkware.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Fair enough, but at least there should be a way for OverflowAI to list which contributors had the strongest link to the given answer, right?

  No users to answer questions? No problem…

  It really puts their stance on “no AI generated answers” in a different light.

  Basically, “no AI generated answers unless we do it”.

    Well, using ai-generated answers to train their own ai would bring down the quality of answers and worse quality means lesser money. Don’t you want them to make any money??!!

  Many coding languages, mixed text and code, just plain wrong answers (commented as such). What can go wrong?

  They can DDOS themselves to show raise in visits but it won’t help long-term.

  I get the whole community resource and all that hoorah, but what bothers me the most is that C*O somewhere that’s padding his bonus and CV, waiting for the ship to sink so he can move on to the next thing where he can sing praises to the AI revolution.

  I understand Google and Microsoft getting into it as it makes sense as a “better” Google search but for StackOverflow that sounds like they have just given up on their current platform.

  The only answer you ever get is “Closed: Marked as duplicate question.”
