Re: they shoot themselves into the foot (Re: Good Bye Stack-Overflow)

Hi,
I personally like that ChatGPT tolerates all my
sloppiness, since I am always in a hurry, don't
have time for some bullshit.
And I pay the bill by myself, if ChatGPT doesn't
understand me. I don't need some moderator to
force some ideal into my throat, anyway
most of the time ChatGPT understands me
nevertheless. Has probably to do how
the artificial intelligenc of ChatGPT works:
Attention Is All You Need
https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762
But stack overflow gets also drained by other
developments like for example:
- Thousends of tutorial web sites:
   There is a real cottage industry, of
   commercial web sites, that explain you
   web programming etc.. They are commercial
   since they show banner ads.
- Thousends of tutorial videos:
   There is a similar cottage industry
   for videos. Also commercial because
   the show ads. Even google search
   doesn't show stack overflow as first
   result anymore.
- Declining Business Model Job Search
   With "low code", the number of programmer
   jobs as we know it will go down. A website
   specialized on job advertising will automatically
   loose revenue:

Hi,
 Yes exactly, they shoot themselves into the foot.
They adopted the academic closed world attitute,
as can be seen here, not noticing that the John
 Doe programmers are not necessarily a theoretical
computer science titanic A-class member:
 As an example, consider this question – invented, but not far-fetched:
"Random keeps giving me the same numbers. Is it broken?"
This is a low-quality question, in my view.

 Now try the same with ChatGPT:
 Q: Random keeps giving me the same numbers. Is it broken?
 A: It sounds like your Random object might not be
re-seeded, which could cause it to generate the same
sequence of numbers every time you run your program.
By default, Random is seeded with the current time in
  milliseconds, but if you create it multiple times in
quick succession, it might receive the same seed and
generate the same numbers.
