Fascinating. I wonder if our current discussion boards on the interwebs can survive the coming influx of content like this and the next generations of it that follow.

What possible positive outcomes do you see for this kind of (admittedly inevitable) capability?

Oh wow, this is amazing. My favorite so far is: https://stackroboflow.com/#!/question/22890 >How can I do this software? Although it sounds more like a question from Quora.

having spent some time in the triage & edit queues, this 100% sounds like stackoverflow.
