I don’t know what was worse, Stack Overflow’s moderation system, which many IT communities find annoying, or AI killing the site 🤔 Both extremes seem bad for the open web…. I still think that we don’t need three chatbots controlling everything. I fear Wikipedia might be next. This is not good for the Internet

@nixCraft I don't agree with that narrative. ChatGPT didn't kill Stackoverflow : managers of SO did.

After ChatGPT launched, SO team decided that from now on, every question and answer on the site were going to be used to train a local LLM model. Everybody was angry at this, and everybody left. Including me.

I posted questions and answers on SO for more than ten years. After that decision from the team, I just logged out for the first time in years and never came back.

@rusty @nixCraft 99% agree. I publicly disagreed with their stand and requested, since the terms and conditions of my involvement in the platform were violated without me consenting, that my data were removed. And I knew of top contributors doing the same.
The remaining 1%, could be attributed to AL.
