. How did yall'ah miss this??
Orange site
Stack Overflow questions are being flooded with answers from ChatGPT
Use of ChatGPT generated text for posts on Stack Overflow is temporarily banned
It will take Days for me to just read the SO post

tech/science swag. 
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality or funny effortposts and informative or entertaining comments. Please refrain from posting the following:
Boring wingcucked nonsense nobody cares about that belongs in chudrama
Normie shit everyone already knows about
Anything that doesn't gratifify one's intellectual laziness
Bimothy-tier posts
Anything that the jannies don't like
Jannies reserve the right to exile baby ducks from this hole at any time.
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.

I hate chatgptcels. It kinda works for things that it was trained on, but the minute you ask it something it doesn't know about (like obscure libraries) it just starts lying and returning nonsense.

This Technology Review article is a little
, but the premise is pretty funny. I like the idea that all future language models have to either limit their training data or participate in an incrementally growing ouroboros of bullshit in, bullshit out.

I'm not buying this. In what situation would this really happen?
Anyone who has used ChatGPT for more than 10min will know it's dumb as heck and guessing half the time. Personally I think it just needs few disclaimers and on-boarding help screen explaining what it is - and what it isnt (as opposed to banning wrongthink and 'dangerous' prompts).
I'm very skeptical people will see it was an expert at everything and start jamming pills down their throat cuz it told them to. And I work in software, so I know how dumb the average person is.
These critiques always present FUDy scenarios with zero context, that it will somehow be used in a vacuum without other signals / information the user knows going into it (let alone common sense).

Also I feel like "misinformation" holds the same sort of cultural bugbear status today as "communist influence" did in the 50s. It's a buzzword-turned-useful spook for riling up tards to increase your political or social cachet.

That's what I mean by
. They're really stretching for an irl consequence, but if you seek health advice from the internet, let alone a LLM chatbot, you deserve what you get.
The argument I found more compelling is that publicly accessible LLMs like ChatGPT are somewhat self defeating in the sense that they're tainting the data that could be used to train better future models. I don't know enough about machine learning to know how much of a problem this actually is, but I love the idea that proliferation of early versions like we have now could potentially impede future development. I'm not enough of a utopian idealist to imagine any future where outsourcing our problem solving abilities to a neural network works out well, so anything that makes the responses less accurate is purely funny and good imo.

Yes, exactly, I never perceived it as a threat. but SO has the same questions being asked daily so I thought it would be helpful there but they seem to be very very mad

Large language models fine tuned for a conversational style + augmented with traditional search engine fact checking is gonna be the future of search

No, it's going to be the end of intelligent dialogue on the internet outside of well-curated walled gardens. Those AI models can produce text at a rate far greater than intelligent and informed humans can.
The result is going to be AI engines training on AI engine generated content and spewing out tons more AI generated content which is going to very rapidly replace human generated content.
It's going to very rapidly descend into 99% of the indexable written content being absolute nonsense which is basically what we're seeing now with google results, if you want anything other than SEO spam you have to refine your search to avoid all commercial sources.
This has made driving a narrative virtually free in terms of human labour costs. One person with access to GPT-3 can create a whole subreddit of imitation consensus about a product, political party, etc.

Oh yeah for sure, AI generated content is gonna dwarf human stuff way sooner than people would have expected a couple years ago

In an ideal world there would just be a ChatGPT service for people to ask easy programming questions, leaving the more difficult and niche questions for SO. Of course, in this shit world of ours SO just gets spammed with garbage ChatGPT answers, instead.

That's what Github Copilot is. I use it every day for that
I can see it getting much better in the future as it copies ChatGPT model

I go to StackOverflow to get answers to specific technical questions/problems about languages, frameworks, systems, etc, not to have code written for me.

Literally the code is the answer. If you can't figure it out by just the code and output, maybe you should learn to draw or something.

If you need StackOverflow for general code then you're either a codemonkey or still in college.

It also fails to produce anything of value outside its data set, which is disappointing. Other than codecel work, it can’t even properly translate across domains.
Ask it to assess the performance of something, even the most obvious stuff and it just completely shits the bed.

For my line of work, I tried to get it to talk about the latest CVV or hack and it will just talk about how harmful they are but can't say anything of substance.

It's good if you just want fluff with nothing new. If you need to talk about something new out there, then it just craps out.

It's funny when codecels talk about SWE engineers being automated out by GPT because it's all projection. Anyone with real expertise can see instantly where chatGPT lacks.
In fact this should probably be a new interview question: "what do you think of coding being automated by GPT?"
If there's any hint of GPT putting jobs in danger, or using it for anything other than for some boilerplate or autofill, immediate red flag.

But it knows that it might be wrong. Are you saying you'd ban humans from replying unless they're 100% sure that they're right? Sounds kinda racist, chud.
