It is most certainly a predicament. If people feel like they can freely post ChatGPT content, it adds enormous strain on making sure that the solution provided actually works. This then has to be done by moderators (with experience) or other users who land on the site. If it is the latter, people might get frustrated that answers are wrong, devaluing SO's value overall.
In a nutshell, allowing AI in its current iteration will create more problems when it comes to moderation, content quality, and the sanity of sites users - pretty much.
Quite a lot of variables to find common ground on this one, but I think StackOverflow should not allow AI content for the time being.
- aarong11 3y agoI mean people post wrong answers to stackoverflow all the time. They generally get downvoted.
- pixl97 3y agoSo, prove it's AI content, that's going to be the hard part with a ton of false negatives. I look at it the other way, AI answers should be fine where tools like Code Interpreter are in use and they can provide a verifiable solution. At the end of the day people copying from SO are generally looking for something that works, and the problems of this being best practice can be fought out by the people down thread.
