Everyone should immediately stop contributing to the stack overflow and its network. The human touch is what made it unique. Delete your profile from SO AND all your answers. Freeloaders are making money out of human contributions.

Edit: As pointed out by others, still delete your answers as a form of protest if you wish. OpenAI may still get the data, but it will harm SO.

Edit 2: welp, looks like that might be off the table either way

to be completely fair, I would be incredibly surprised (and I am trying to be charitable due to lack of concrete evidence) if OpenAI hasn't scanned every single SO question and answer ever made already. This was probably made so they would have ChatGPT answers on popular questions and stuff like that, which of course is still bad

Attached: 2 images Stack Overflow announced that they are partnering with OpenAI, so I tried to delete my highest-rated answers. Stack Overflow does not let you delete questions that have accepted answers and many upvotes because it would remove knowledge from the community. So instead I changed my highest-rated answers to a protest message. Within an hour mods had changed the questions back and suspended my account for 7 days.

@dbread @karrbs @nixCraft I think what you meant to say is that they are actively endorsing OpenAIs involvement 😅, which I guess sure might mean that SO won't go after them, though I don't know if SO has the rights to pursue people on behalf of their users
