"Besides forum-equivalent functionality, PieFed also offers ... Question and answers similar to StackOverflow where an answer can be visually distinguished as an answer, and the original question marked as solved."
Many sites have integrated #AIBots and #AIAssistants nowadays. On product forums, places like #StackOverflow, shopping sites. Everywhere there are little bots inserting themselves between you and an actual person qualified to provide a helpful response.
I don't know about you, but I have encountered these for several months now and never, not even ONCE, was any such automaton able to respond satisfactorily. All they are is another unnecessary step between user and human support staff.
Stack Overflow pivoting to AI is less ‘end of an era’ and more ‘tech bro forgot what the site was for.’ Next up: Clippy as a thought leader and ClippyGPT Premium ($19.99/month for vibes only). #AI#stackoverflow#bringback2009
Kiedy próbujesz zażartować i jednocześnie zweryfikować #ChatGPT, a ten Cię zaskakuje...
Tak, jak większości ludzi nie tylko z branży, ale generalnie rynku pracy na naszej umęczonej ziemi, zdarza mi się korzystać z #LLM (lub - mówiąc bardziej ogólnie - #AI) do rozwiązywania różnych problemów, także programistycznych. Nadal, gdy mogę, preferuję już trochę staroświecki #StackOverflow, ale przyznaję, że ChatGPT czy zwłaszcza #GoogleGemimi nieraz już pomógł w momentach zwątpienia z powodu przyjęcia takiej ścieżki zawodowej. Dzisiaj właśnie miałem taką sesję dokładniejszego zrozumienia, co może kryć się pod komunikatami z logów i produkt OpenAI bardzo chętnie chciał dalej podrążyć temat. Kto korzysta z ChatGPT ten wie, że zazwyczaj na końcu każdej wypowiedzi dodaje propozycje, co może dalej dla nas zrobić. Tak było też tym razem.
Ponieważ już nic nie chciałem od niego, to znudzony wpisałem "Zagrajmy w Gwinta". Trochę z przekory, a trochę po to, aby zobaczyć, czy rozmowa kontekst mema. Jeśli ktoś grał w Wiedźmina 3, to wie, że w większości dialogów Geralt może zaproponować grę w karciankę #Gwint, nawet w najbardziej dramatycznych momentach. Co ciekawe, LLM tego nie wyłapał. Ale za to... objaśnił zasady gry i zaproponować partyjkę w formie tekstowej. Przyznaję, że mnie tym zaskoczył. Punkt dla niego, choć, oczywiście, nie zagrałem, bo w końcu byłem w pracy.
Screen z rozmowy z ChatGPT, gdzie chatbot objaśnia typy kart Gwinta (np. Zoltan Chivay, siła 7) i rozpoczyna pierwszy krok, pisząc, że losuje dla siebie i mnie po 5 kart oraz pyta o gotowość.

A lot of tech knowledge is jailed in #StackOverflow, #StackExchange. Too much. The tech world is very dependant on this single gate keeper. This week, freedom to access SE’s indispensible tech knowledge has been lost. ...
The fediverse won’t succeed at putting up a #Stackoverflow substitute and that’s a problem?
Just an impression: All the pieces seem to be there. But what’s required is a team, with devs, PMs and coordinators, dedicated to making a particular place in the #fediverse .
That’s resources and decently sized financial and organisational demands, especially to get a critical mass of users.
Is the fediverse up to that challenge? If not, is it an issue worth addressing?
Like many other technologists, I gave my time and expertise for free to #StackOverflow because the content was licensed CC-BY-SA - meaning that it was a public good. It brought me joy to help people figure out why their #ASR code wasn't working, or assist with a #CUDA bug.
Now that a deal has been struck with #OpenAI to scrape all the questions and answers in Stack Overflow, to train #GenerativeAI models, like #LLMs, without attribution to authors (as required under the CC-BY-SA license under which Stack Overflow content is licensed), to be sold back to us (the SA clause requires derivative works to be shared under the same license), I have issued a Data Deletion request to Stack Overflow to disassociate my username from my Stack Overflow username, and am closing my account, just like I did with Reddit, Inc.
The data I helped create is going to be bundled in an #LLM and sold back to me.
In a single move, Stack Overflow has alienated its community - which is also its main source of competitive advantage, in exchange for token lucre.
Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow's former instantiation, used to fulfill a psychological contract - help others out when you can, for the expectation that others may in turn assist you in the future. Now it's not an exchange, it's #enshittification.
Programmers now join artists and copywriters, whose works have been snaffled up to create #GenAI solutions.
The silver lining I see is that once OpenAI creates LLMs that generate code - like Microsoft has done with Copilot on GitHub - where will they go to get help with the bugs that the generative AI models introduce, particularly, given the recent GitClear report, of the "downward pressure on code quality" caused by these tools?
While this is just one more example of #enshittification, it's also a salient lesson for #DevRel folks - if your community is your source of advantage, don't upset them.
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.
From the official stackoverflow account: We’re thrilled to announce we’re partnering with @OpenAI to bring best in class technical knowledge and the world’s most popular LLM models for AI development together! This groundbreaking partnership with OpenAI will drive our mission to empower the world to develop technology through collective knowledge.
