Why now? Other people have been profiting off of your Stack Overflow answers for years. This is nothing new.
Currently, all answers are properly attributed. But once OpenAI will have trained and sell a “hackerman” persona, do you really think it will answer people’s questions with ”This answer was contributed by i_am_not_a_robot” or will it just sell this as its own answer?
As a tech, i'm fucking howling because 99% of answers to any given question is already bullshit that ranges from useless to dangerous.
"The machine" can't tell the difference and it's going to be considered authoratitive in its blithe stupidity. hoover up SA all you want, you're just gonna agregate it with bullishit and poison your own well anyway
