Complete the loop. Make another one that generates coding questions. Edit: come to think of it a Markov generator would probably be better on the question end so the hallucinated answers have more work to do.

One that makes stack-exchange sites.

I've asked this before, but is having a domain name with someone else's business name in it allowed? The answer I was given last time was you can buy it it but you might not get to keep it. Still, I can't help but think it would be inevitable legal trouble.

On the other hand, it's a great way to get a contact at SO, assuming anyone other than lawyers finds out about it.

Next step is to get the ChatGPT clones/alternatives to post alternative answers and let them all upvote the best one.

No, next step is to get the clones/alts arguing with ChatGPT in SO-tone in order to complete the circle.

ModGPT1, ModGPT2, ModGPT3 and ModGPT4 have voted to close your question as duplicate of .

It won’t truly match the experience, unless it can inject veiled insults into the answers. /s

Everybody got what they wanted and it’s much “nicer” now (it won’t even let you comment “what have you tried?” anymore, for instance). Wouldn’t you know it, the front page is now full of low-quality, low-effort questions.

And yet I have no issues finding answers to my question when using a search engine. I'm sure if a slippery slope is detected, SO will change its policy back.

I hope no one actually trusts that for real answers, just based on what we've seen it try to do already.

Lol just yesterday I saw an eight year old answer on SO neatly solving my problem, except the API was hallucinated. Humans have been hallucinating APIs for far longer.

The first time I read this I thought it meant it was an eight year old person answering your question.

Whether it's AI generated, or some random schlep on Stack Overflow - Don't trust the answer without reviewing. Amateurs run code they don't understand.

Professionals, of course, let someone else run the code they don't understand.
