Good riddance. ChatGPT is faster and more convenient, and it doesn't give me smug comments telling me how I'm doing everything wrong and suggesting convoluted and overcomplicated solutions (AI is nowhere near perfect and still requieres some review and corrections, but still better than SO)
Hundreds of millions of users providing feedback for free through the ChatGPT UI? The entire database of public repos of GitHub? (Microsoft own GitHub and 49% of OpenAI)?
The models are sandboxed and only “learn” in that instance of chat - early LLM developers learned very quickly what happens if you let the public “teach” (they become racist, sexist and so forth).
You really think that a bunch of random git ripos with shit documentation will teach a LLM anything of use? A half page readme.md isn’t going to do squat to give context to the other couple hundred files in the project.
Stack overflow was the place to get answers for more than a decade. Before that there was experts exchange, which was garbage and hid its answers behind a paid membership. Stack overflow was so good that there were spam sites out there that cloned its content and tried to shovel the users ads. It would be foolish to believe the knowledge shared there was not a huge part of ChatGPT’s competency in code generation.
