Looking to hear your guys’ thoughts on this, and hopefully share points in a more sophisticated manner than I can describe. (also, I hope this is an appropriate place to post?)
I have ran into this discussion a few times across the fediverse, but I can’t for the life of my find those threads and comments lol
I believe that a non-corporate owned platform with user-generated information is most optimal, like wikipedia. I don’t know the technicalities, but I feel like AI can’t replace answers from human experiences - humans who are enthusiasts and care about helping each other and not making money
I don’t know much about this topic, but I’m curious if you guys have actual real answers! Thread-based services like this and stack overflow (?) vs chatgpt vs bing vs google, etc.
I’ve been trying out an IaC services’ (Pulumi) chatbot to answer questions about how to spin up architecture. It’s really bad. Totally makes up properties that don’t exist and at times spins up code that doesn’t even make sense syntactically. Not to mention that the code it generates has the potential to cost not insignificant amounts of money.
Definitely not a replacement for stack overflow, github, forums, or random blog posts. Not for a service that spins up critical infrastructure. Like, you have to know to some degree how that stuff works. And if you know how that stuff works, what’s the point of the service? Saving a few minutes typing stuff out and looking at documentation?
