Great. So once Stack Overflow is dead, where will ChatGPT get actual, correct answers from?
An actual problem to worry about too. I think there will always be people looking to contribute but as less people do AI may actually get dumber until they figure out how to train AI with AI
That won't work because machine learning doesn't actually understand what it says. It needs real human knowledge underlying it. It can't just learn things on its own out of nowhere.
But maybe if we sacrifice enough ecosystems we could get it to work and then ask it to solve all the climate problems we created to power it...
