I wonder if you could use GitHub Copilot to generate fake answers for SO?
- doubled112 4y agoDon't give them any ideas.
- jacooper 4y agoBut what would be the point? There is no SEO to game, no people to influence etc.
- etskinner 4y agoThere's plenty of influence plays there. If I worked for Cloud Provider X, I might nudge people toward using that cloud instead of a competitor. If I'm a developer of Software Y, I might say "Software Y makes this much easier" and boost sales.
- jacooper 4y agoMaybe, but that would require an actually helpful answer, other than that no body is going to look or care about your answer.
- postsantum 4y agoQuora is plagued with these "helpful" answers
- optimalsolver 4y agoSemi-related: Someone wrote a sort algorithm that searches StackOverflow for sorting functions and runs them until it returns the correct answer. https://gkoberger.github.io/stacksort/ https://gkoberger.github.io/stacksort/ Inspired by: http://xkcd.com/1185/ http://xkcd.com/1185/
