So finally they have a bot that closes everything because "duplicate" or "opinion"

[–] tristan@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 52 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Now you can have a computer tell you that you're an idiot and your question is stupid rather than actual person.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

That could probably be a bash script actually...

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Ooh will the link be broken half the time for extra Stack Overflow experience?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

yes that will be available in chatGPT 4

[–] Hammocks4All@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe the point is to increase sass in AI

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 32 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So now we need fedi-stackoverflow. Yo @dessalines@lemmy.ml any chance you guys have something in store? :)

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 38 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 10 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Legend@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

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 .

It's simply impossible to run away from Blackrock these days. Money sells self-dignity.

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is Blackrock a major investor in either or both of them?

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Just by mentioning their name they invested 2 billion dollars into my comment and 4 billion in Puts.

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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...

[–] gencha@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At last I can copy and paste code stitched together from several different deprecated SDK versions.

[–] bastonia@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

does your shit compile though?

[–] ulkesh@beehaw.org 17 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Well I guess I’m done with SO now.

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But nowadays everything requires J's

Even in 2008 using noscript required a massive whitelist 😆

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

They have been so done with me for aeons. God they’re awful people.

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] doona@aussie.zone 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 years ago

Probably meant all but excluding their "own" products.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

Hallucinations on demand

[–] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 5 points 2 years ago

So now you can have the devs that shun the cheat of having AI write their code instead copy-pasting from stack overflow's AI written code.

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 3 points 2 years ago

Is this to better detect and ban all AI from SO?
