    Bad news. Since AI can only answer what it knows. If you have a question that is legit but not yet part of stackoverflow, you get a bad AI response.

    In that case you can ask it on the stackoverflow website. But due to the fact that everybody now only rely on AI stackoverflow is dead. Well there you go, you just killed the source of truth.

      Which is eventually going to cause AI model collapse, since AI no longer has any source of truth to train on. This is such an interesting technology being used in such a stupid and irresponsible way.

        Exactly my point. So what you see now is Ai is generating Ai content used for training. Also known as synthetic data… I know right?

      I don’t know if it’s just my age/experience or some kind of innate “horse sense” But I tend to do alright with detecting shit responses, whether they be human trolls or an LLM that is lying through its virtual teeth. I don’t see that as bad news, I see it as understanding the limitations of the system. Perhaps with a reasonable prompt an LLM can be more honest about when it’s hallucinating?
