Context for anyone Out of the Loop:
Cute how people believe deleting answers helps. Answers are still probably stored on SO’s servers and can be used for training.
Exactly the same crap as a year ago with Reddit. Just like back then users need to go somewhere else and learn from the experience.
They have public revisions of every answer and consider deleting good content “vandalism” since it violates license, so it’s no surprise that they’d keep it all
Wasn’t there a fediverse version of SO? I wonder if now is a good time to make that good.
I’d say it’s probably programming.dev
Prog.dev is underrated, but it wasn’t that. I think it was actually https://codidact.com/
This is so fucked up, what a blatant grift. Now that they’ve angered some of the most intense programmers online, I wonder what they’ll do.
Well, probably nothing
This meme would be absolutely killer if the bottom text was “this question has been closed as a duplicate.”
StackOverflow will discourage you when you’re right. ChatGPT will encourage you when you’re wrong.
Hey gpt, how do I split a list object in C#?
“Question marked as duplicate: '‘How do I create a variable in Python’”
What? That doesn’t help at all.
“You seem to be confused. You asked how to split a list in C#, and I provided information on how to create a variable in Python”
GPT never told me to rm -R /myself
Now it’s being trained on Stackoverflow, consider those days to be over.
Q: Hey ChatGPT, I have issues with RAWINPUT under Windows, how do I fix it? [Insert code here]
A: You dumdum, I see you’re using the language D, which is for cucks. Real alpha programmers use C++, as they don’t need things like memory safety (skill issue lol), and can afford multiple monitors because C++ still thinks we still only have a few megabytes of compiler memory available, so programmers still can see the header files. Want to still develop in an easier language for shits and giggles? Javascript, so your friends don’t have to deal with .exe files (evil), and the web is the future anyways.
Regardless of that, there’s already a C++ library that can handle input for Windows and many other operating systems. Oh, it uses DirectInput 8? Well, who cares, don’t be picky, or just stop programming altogether, and leave it to the professionals. [place for a lowtiergod meme, but with the text “you should quit programming now”]
#1 finds ways to not give you a solution despite having one. #2 finds ways to give you a solution despite not having any.
Will the AI trained on it be hostile towards your question, if:
- you ask help in an unpopular language,
- there’s already a janky and bloated middleware that does the same thing poorly?
A while back the PHP community invested massively in tracking down anti-pattern advice (like using
magic_quotes) in a coordinated effort to stop misinforming new developers… I look forward to our new GPT overlords who get misinformation baked into them that we can never get out.Pop quiz - who did the majority of Twitter respondants say won the 2020 election? I don’t know the answer and considering that’s a large portion of GPT’s training data that’s fucking scary.
The enshittification has begun
