      Did they really need ai for that? Surely if they needed a script they could have just asked on stack overfl…oh

      So much time saved, I hope there’s a version I can run locally.

      That could probably be a bash script actually…

    well now when you ask OpenAI to write a piece of code for you, it will insert comments like

    #I am not going to code this part, it actually exists in the following link which you should have checked before asking me

      Haha no, but we do have some things inside lemmy to make it better suited for question / answer communities, like the forum / new comments sort. But ya I’d be down to hear ideas on how to make lemmy better for that purpose.

        The work you folks do is incredible. That said, the specialization of SO was quite unique: you need to ask questions to be able to answer them and you have to work your way up while being coached how to achieve it. I‘m sure you know that.

        It keeps opinions at bay due to the strong focus on the context. Lemmy has a completely different purpose, more social, imo. Thats fine but it would need to be tailored to favor less answers in higher quality. Probably a reskin with a little added restrictions and logic? I can see how that would work.

        Yeah this seem to be a nice direction to go in . You seem like a Dev who believes in their project and would rather better it than create a fuckton of alternatives for every single purpose and I do agree with the direction your going in and I hope you always stay in this direction and make Lemmy one of the powerhouse on social media front . I have great hopes for this project lol .

        I doubt SO shares what individual accounts are upvoting what content when.

        In that case we have nothing to fear I guess /s

        For those born yesterday: Companies will always do company things. Shareholder value and studies showing that corporations act like psychopaths makes this clear.

        Its not important that AI companies can read off of the fediverse but that they cant control the fediverse. As in „holding information ransom“ and „producing garbage ai/bot responses to push search results, etc.

        Those who went through enshittification once should know. Those who went through it multuple times have to know that this is a one strike situation. If the owner of a proprietary platform goes this route, we need to look out.

        Have a good one.

    It’s funny how Stack Overflow was created because forums were shit for programming discussion, and because Q&A was dominated, sold, and locked down by Experts-Exchange.

    Now, pretty much the second the final founder bailed (and jumped on the AI train) SO starts enshittifying its product…

      Enshittification had started in preparation of the sale years ago. Now with AI the platform has become worthless and their entire data set has been included in countless training sets. They are grasping for straws. Their active users decrease, as more and more contributors realize that they are volunteering their time to make others rich.

      You could easily view the answers on expert sex change by bringing up the debugger, but it was never even worth it as the answers on stack overflow were better.

      I was done with them years ago, it’s impossibile to ask something without getting the question closed

      If I really need I try to use codidact https://codidact.com

      But now I’m used to solve the problem by myself

          But nowadays everything requires J’s

          Even in 2008 using noscript required a massive whitelist 😆

            Nah, most sites at least load content without is. Maybe the formattimg is off. But no content is inexcusable

      Fortunately all the content is CC, so you can just fork the while site

    What the fuck? Didn’t they just announce that they’re banning all AI submissions from SO?
