Me: How would I write a for-loop that starts from the end of a list?
ChatGPT: Closing this conversation as this question has already been answered.
The working solution being 5 child comments deep on a wrong solution flagged as correct is my favorite.
lol this is going to be fantastically catastrophic. ChatGPT is going to end up indirectly writing so much code. And I am fully aware how often ChatGPT give you absolute nonsense when asked to write some code. It’s got a decently high hit rate for relatively unchallenging stuff, but it is nowhere NEAR 100% accurate.
TL;DR stackoverflow doesn’t understand how many developers naively copypaste shit from stackoverflow I guess? Wcgw
I don’t think this will affect StackOverflow website though? The blog implies that ChatGPT will use StackOverflow API to use as a knowledge source (and probably be paid for it).
OpenAI and Stack Overflow are coming together via OverflowAPI access to provide OpenAI users and customers with the accurate and vetted data foundation that AI tools need to quickly find a solution to a problem […]. OpenAI will also surface validated technical knowledge from Stack Overflow directly into ChatGPT, giving users easy access to trusted, attributed, accurate, and highly technical knowledge and code backed by the millions of developers that have contributed to the Stack Overflow platform for 15 years.
This seems to be exactly to prevent hallucinations when there’s a good vetted answer already.
Either people didn’t read the blog or is there something I’m missing?
Jesus fuck, don’t take Stack away. I rely on it.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em?
the reason I go to stack overflow is the answers arent hallucinated by an AI
AI will be the downfall of AI
Stack trying to remain relevant
Oops! All Wrong Answers!
glad i deleted my acct years ago

But all user contributions on StackOverflow licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0... right?
Attribution — You must give appropriate credit
So, if Stack Overflow generates text based on any answer (or question) in Stack Overflow's DB, it must credit the person whose text it adapted.
Good luck with that...
I mean, Bing gives you link references in its answers, maybe something like that?
AI can't read terms of service.
Chatgpt: How do I kill all the children in this thread?
As a AI model I'm not allowed to promote violence against... Also since children are involved this case was reported to your local enforcement agency
Does ChatGPT can really report you in case you say something like this? Is it just a threat or can it really become more?
Chat GPT generates plausible auto-complete text. If it has been trained on saying "this case was reported to your local law enforcement agency", those are the kinds of words it might spit out.
