Problem is, most contributors would probably stop contributing (answering questions) if that were the case. If there's an automatic answer that is correct 2/3 of all times, that would mean lots of time spent reviewing automatic answers and lots of time "wasted" (where a contribution isn't needed), which will probably discourage most of them
- pwdisswordfishc 3y ago> correct 2/3 of all times You are an optimist
- casey2 3y agoThis doesn't track, The OP will vote on the automated answer before the question is public. If it solves his problem then this is a major reduction in low quality question spam, if it doesn't then the AI post is already hidden so it doesn't waste mod time.
- sofixa 3y agoBut is the OP the best placed to know if the AI answer is correct? They're obviously not an expert, and even if something seems to work initially doesn't mean it's the correct way of doing it. Especially in the context of code, which is I think the majority of Stack Exchange's traffic, where you could easily have some code which seems to work, but has some bug/edge case/insecure practice/etc.
