Why you should know: StackOverflow is facing a mod strike in a similar way as Reddit’s mod strike. They are doing this in response to StackOverflow’s failure to address it’s promises and provide moderation tools

    That’s not unpopular. But there is a problem. ChatGPT can answer your questions mostly because it was trained on the posts and answers of sites like StackOverflow.

    If people abandon SO and similar forums then the quality of ChatGPTs answers will go down too.

    Especially with something like programming. It’s always changing. Next year there will be new versions of C++ and python. There will be new JS frameworks as always. It doesn’t stand still.

    And without new discussions about new problems, there’s nowhere for ChatGPT to learn about them.

      Haven’t though about that, you’re right.
