What we're all afraid is that cheap slop is going to make stack broke/close/bought/private and then it will be removed from the public domain...then jack up the price of islop when the alternative is gone...

    I do wonder then, as new languages and tools are developed, how quickly will AI models be able to parrot information on their use, if sources like stackoverflow cease to exist.

    It'll certainly be of lesser quality even if they go through steps to make it able to address it.

    good documentation and open projects ported might be enough to give you working code, but it's not going to be able to optimize it without being trained on tons of optimization data.
