Any site like Stack Exchange is sure to rely on a handful of really dedicated users who live for their subject of special interest. It is an ingenious way of extracting value from the free work of these users. But answering question and teaching strangers about your favourite subject is nothing like rating computer generated sentences on their correctness, no matter what the subject matter is. The whales will leave, and the community will be a shoal of drone fish. There may be a business model there too, but it's nothing like the current one. These people know their community. So I wonder what thinking was behind this decision. In my current place of work, there have been many discussions like "how can we integrate AI in our business model". Maybe it's not more complicated than that. Maybe it's a coincidence that they were recently bought by a company that needs return on investment. Either way it's sad that we so rarely can have nice things on the Internet anymore.
