> Why should it matter if an otherwise good answer came from an LLM? I think the problem is that quite a bit of the time the answers won't be good, in addition to it being extremely easy to generate a large volume of content, which makes moderation difficult. That's more or less what happened with Clarkesworld: https://www.npr.org/2023/02/24/1159286436/ai-chatbot-chatgpt-magazine-clarkesworld-artificial-intelligence https://www.npr.org/2023/02/24/1159286436/ai-chatbot-chatgpt... > "By the time we closed on the 20th, around noon, we had received 700 legitimate submissions and 500 machine-written ones," he said. Imagine there suddenly being 2x more content to moderate, maybe 5x or 10x. And many of the completely false answers being written in a confident tone, yet still with hallucinations like referencing methods that don't exist and so on. That said, it's not like SO has any problem making everyone already have a hard time, with famously nitpicky moderation that scares people away.
