The reddit Steve method again.

I don't understand what anyone wins from this

Corporations are foundationally evil

And how do they not win more if we poison the entire Internet?

It's like being in a toxic relationship with kids involved

Set boundaries

Follow rules

Don't destroy the fucking fruit of your bodies just because you are angry at each other

Fuck those guys, like a lot, for taking your given data and selling

And fuck open ai for trying to make money from scientific discoveries meant for all of humanity

But what the fuck with ruining the entire Internet?

Who gets anything then?

If language models will ruin Internet why be afraid that normal human responses are available? Wut?

Maybe a better act of rebellion would be to scrape the data on stack, self host it, and move to an open source platform. Easy for me to say though, when I only ever coded Hello World

I mean, they could just do what reddit does and restore from backup automatically lol

This sort of thing is so self-sabotaging. The website already has your comment, and a license to use it. By deleting your stuff from the web you only ensure that the AI is definitely going to be the better resource to go to for answers.

That's why I'm not going to bother contributing to future content.

I need to start paywalling my comments.

Were they trying to protect ChatGPT from all the bad and convoluted answers?
