For years, the site had a standing policy that prevented the use of generative AI in writing or rewording any questions or answers posted. Moderators were allowed and encouraged to use AI-detection software when reviewing posts. Beginning last week, however, the company began a rapid about-face in its public policy towards AI.

I listened to an episode of The Daily on AI, and the stuff they fed into to engines included the entire Internet. They literally ran out of things to feed it. That's why YouTube created their auto-generated subtitles - literally, so that they would have more material to feed into their LLMs. I fully expect reddit to be bought out/merged within the next six months or so. They are desperate for more material to feed the machine. Everything is going to end up going to an LLM somewhere.

The reddit Steve method again.

This sort of thing is so self-sabotaging. The website already has your comment, and a license to use it. By deleting your stuff from the web you only ensure that the AI is definitely going to be the better resource to go to for answers.

Aren’t a lot of answers outdated on stackoverflow?

I'm going to run out of sites at this pace.

Eventually, we will need a fediverse version of StackOverflow, Quora, etc.

Welp.

Take all you want, it will only take a few hallucinations before no one trusts LLMs to write code or give advice

If this is true, then we should prepare to be shout at by chatgpt why we didnt knew already that simple error.
