They could actually try to build a Copilot competitor off their data.
/s
- VoidWhisperer 4y agoIt would be interesting to see how many times a copilot competitor trained off it gave correct code vs wrong code for a given case
- mdaniel 4y agoI would suspect that would differ whether it was trained on the question's code versus any accepted answer's (or most upvotes?) code
- mdaniel 4y agoI see the "/s" but I actually do wonder if integrating the "prompt" behavior into the question box would help cut down on the absolutely staggering number of duplicate questions. Regrettably, I'm not enough of a GPT expert to know what percentage of the time it would generate gibberish thus making the duplication question problem _worse_
- aasasd 4y agoPretty sure they already show suggestions when the user is typing the question topic, though idk if they catch much. I guess the question here is whether some kind of AI would pop up more relevant suggestions, all the way to “your question is already answered, doofus”.
- aasasd 4y agoCopilot themselves probably swiped it all already, since SO answers are licensed under CC-BY-SA, which to Github is equal to ‘just take it all and ignore the author’. With the possible small difference that the uploader doesn't agree to the Github ToS.
