Well, forget about new answers.


Yeah, the problem is that you are relying on free contributors, these free contributors will get discouraged if your ideas can just be stolen by ChatGPT as their idea for a solution.


Most SO answers are clarifying a niche implementation detail or gotcha of a programming language, troubleshooting someone's build configuration, etc. If an LLM trained on that info and later helped someone solve their problem by spitting out an answer, I don't see who was discouraged, nor do I think any "ideas" were "stolen."

You don't go to SO to crowdsource creative ideas. It's for very specific one-off questions that many people will likely find themselves asking at some point.


Also, people rely on the feedback to show how helpful their contributions are. The SO economy relies on "karma". If you silo off the view from the production you get a situation where producers are no longer incentivized.


Here is one easy way to solve this problem based on my current workflow: ChatGPT recognizes the novel pseudo addition you arrive at in your coding and prompts you to review the Q&A summary it creates and posts on your behalf. I would happily do this.


Agreed, and I believe SO and OpenAI must realize this also. It's in everyone's best interest to keep the contributions coming. I certainly hope they can figure out a way to achieve that.


By that logic moderators on Reddit should be upset that people are profiting off their free services.

For some reason, they don't. Honestly, I don't understand why, but there is a cohort of people out there who are ok with it.


I think it's about changing expectations.

If one becomes Reddit moderator then from day 1 they knew Reddit will benefit from them. If they didn't want it, they would not become one. When this changed (say Reddit closed their API) the moderators got really upset.

But when people posted on StackOverflow, they expected that their work is used by fellow humans, and that they get recognition for their hard-worked answers (even if it's just their name in the rank table). When this changed, people got upset.

Either way, I'd expect people who joined StackOverflow after this deal is announced are not going to be upset. But they are the minority, given how long SO has been around.


Eh, I think people's motivations for responding on forums like SO are other than whether ChatGPT will incorporate their information or not.


If you can predict the future about what compels people to work for giant corporations for free, go and be a billionaire.

And you make a post on HN with a direct link to the phishing PDF?


This is amazing, may be with this we can find more accurate information about what can aid to have this disease.

I work for a EU company from South America. I have vast experience working for USA and I can tell you that I have old colleagues from USA (living in USA) being laid off. There are also lay offs in EU, and the economy in the country I live is a bit under pressure. This is global.

Still, there is a lot of jobs, most of the people being laid off already have a job. I think we all are going to recover from this but RU.
