Policy: Generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) is banned (on Stack Overflow) - Lemmy.World
> All use of generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT1 and other LLMs) is banned when
posting content on Stack Overflow. > This includes “asking” the question to an
AI generator then copy-pasting its output as well as using an AI generator to
“reword” your answers.
Is this post just highlighting the policy thats existed for 2 years, or has the policy changed?
It has now been finalized as of yesterday, from what I understand. Previously it was a work-in-progress policy change they were still unsure about, and now it’s decided that this is the way going forward.
Yeah this is just them trying to prevent model collapse (stemming from pollution of training data by ai garbage). The moral thing to do here is to not give a fuck and upload as much AI garbage as possible to poison their dataset. Fucking assholes.
“Avoid model collapse” aka “avoid giving garbage answers”. If they’re gonna use a lot of energy to train an AI, why not at least make the product good-ish?
