Do they have a plan for identifying chatGPT posts aside from “looks like it”?

#12StackOverflow and Google are finished. This is expected and it may not look like it now, but banning an advancement in technology (even temporary) is usually the first step to irrelevance of those pushing back. In a few years from now when ChatGPT and perhaps the much awaited GPT-4 are released, get better, (or even an implementation is open sourced) it will further plummet the usage for SO and Google.

StackOverflow and Google don't ask my phone number for search... so they're not finished for me

I'm not sure about that, it's a temporary ban and the reasoning presented in their post is sound
they are swarmmed with a massive influx of incorrect answers to questions that 'look somewhat correct at first glance'

15 years... is a very long time on the internet. I'd say anything lasting more than 15 years is already a major exception to the rule, so something lasting another 15 hardly sounds "finished".

#16> Overall, because the average rate of getting correct answers from ChatGPT is too low, the posting of answers created by ChatGPT is substantially harmful to the site and to users who are asking or looking for correct answers.
Would like to learn more about this. Tons of SO posts are wrong, it's almost always the case that you have to scroll past the accepted answer to find one that's actually right. Is ChatGPT much worse?

well, nothing stops google from baking this into their search. But it feels harsh to claim SO is finished. SO is human curated and has an edge (today). And for all we know, chatGPT learnt from SO and can synthesize results that are almost good.
It feels especially harsh when SO is having to ban the answers it generates for being wrong...
Re: Use of ChatGPT generated text for posts on Stack Overflow is temporarily banned
#18This seems reasonable to me and I expect this will become a permanent, although hard to enforce, rule on most forums. StackOverflow is supposed to be a place to ask programming questions and receive help from your human peers.
It's not a place to ask questions and receive help from an AI. That would be a different product. It might in the future even be a better product, who knows? But it is a different product and there needs to be a clear line between them.

I don't think so, especially for StackOverflow. I want correct answers, not answers that just look correct.
Yep.
Stable diffusion is powerful because there's no "right answer". Just better/worse variations of a prompt.
GPT is going to be amazing for telling stories. Particularly, for "too literal" software engineers, like me. However, it doesn't seem to offer much in terms of hard, factual information that technical fields rely on.

Even if it is the same why should it be allowed? We want better answers not same shit or something even marginally worse
