Thread 106227061

You did this.

>>106227061 (OP)
Of course. With AI, there is no reason to ask StackOverflow the same redundant question that is already in the API docs, or will never be answered by a human being because it's too esoteric.

Future training will come from the horse's mouth via GitHub discussions. Microsoft/OpenAI are going to own everything.

Fucking good discord mods and youtube jeets not required

>>106227061 (OP)
Good. They were real pricks.
I hope this happens to reddit as well so that redditors can feel like the worthless trash they are.

>>106227061 (OP)
Killing StackOverflow is probably the only thing AI has done that I think is a net positive

>>106227061 (OP)
Good, it was almost impossible to ask anything to stack overflow
They wanted the question to be some sort of encyclopedic accurate questions instead of organic ones, like we help the site become an encyclopedia instead of the site helping us

>>106227061 (OP)
I don't have an account, any question I could ever ask has already been asked, I just have to find it and that doesn't require an account
I'm not pompous enough to think that I've encountered an entirely new and unique problem, like I've discovered a new element

The downward trend started long before ChatGPT, all ChatGPT did was accelerate it

Site closed. Reason: Off-topic.

>>106228803
Based. I still browse the workplace section for drama and gossip, though.

Add where cloudflare was added to the graph

>>106227061 (OP)
I never even tried to use that site because of the bad reputation it had
I don't even ask /g/ for tech questions now. I either get ignored. Get called some slur. Or 9 hours later get a genuine response that is wrong
I just use LLMs now when I have a question

>>106227061 (OP)
AI just accelerated it. Youi can see right around 2017 is when they blatantly stopped letting people ask shit except for the covid spike which they worked hard to eliminate and stop people asking shit

>ask question
>idiot mod doesn't understand it
>rephrases it to ask something else
>second idiot mod closes it because it's now a "duplicate"
good fucking riddance

Stop being evil STACK OVERFLOW REINSTATE MONICA XI JIPING WINNIE THE POOH

>>106227061 (OP)
HAHAHAHAHAHA GET REKT GREASY NERDS, thanks for being so strict with your shitty rules so you became the perfect training data.

>ask question on stackoverflow how to do X

>response: hurr, this sounds like an XY problem, you should do Y instead

>say that no, I'm aware of Y and it's not what I need to do here, it's X, if you know how to do X please answer the question rather than arguing

>response: HURRRR NO I WILL NOW ARGUE WITH YOU ABOUT HOW YOU MUST DO Y AND I INSIST THAT YOU JUSTIFY X WITH EVERY LAST DETAIL OF YOUR ENTIRE CODE BASE INSTEAD OF JUST SHUTTING UP AND LETTING SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO X TAKE OVER

Good riddance to a shitty website.

>>106229278
Why would cloudflare have anything to do with SO's demise?

Almost any programming related AI reply is regurgitated Stack Overflow post.

>>106227061 (OP)
you're welcome.

>>106227061 (OP)
Why would I ask questions to an audience of passive aggressive know-it-alls that require extremely specific wording to understand what you're saying when AI will give it to me without all that horse shit?

If you want someone to blame, blame the pedantic obnoxious userbase of stack overflow

>>106227061 (OP)
>This is a duplicate question.
>Have you tried using search?
>JUST do Y instead of doing X because I said so OK?!
>Not enough karma to answer

Won't this be a problem when programming languages evolve?

>>106229907
Yes, right now AI gets about 90% of its programming answers from Stack Overflow but if nobody's asking questions/giving answers about the latest C#/Rust/React/Java/Python versions then the AI replies will start to become pure bs.

>>106230003
or maybe it can be trained on the FUCKING MANUAL OF THE GOD DAMN SHIT YOU NEVER READ

>>106227061 (OP)
KEK /sqt/ is going to be around longer than stack overflow. Good riddence. It was infinitely worse than mathstackexchange which was already bad.

>>106230024
if llms were only trained on manuals they would be useless

>>106227061 (OP)
I will miss it a little bit, just because "muh programming culture"

>>106227061 (OP)
Duplicate issue. Closed.

Didn't they make a deal with aisloppers? It's like a final cash out.

>>106227061 (OP)
And I don't regret it one bit.

>>106227061 (OP)
no, stack turning into reddit did that

>>106229313
may an llm call you a faggy twat in response to your next retarded question

This! they took themselves much to serious

>>106227061 (OP)
SO was mostly useful to me when looking up Gradle-related stuff. What a nightmare of a tool with convoluted docs.

I did this

>>106232190
*Everything* about android dev sucks. But gradle is certainly up there. I took the Flutter pill and never looked back.
