      Are we sure this deal is about answering new SO questions with LLM? It’s more likely to be a deal where SO sells access to its database to OpenAI so they can use human-generated content for LLM training, and SO gets to use LLM as a more efficient search through its human-generated content.

      It’s possible they could also choose to delegate the duplicate decision to the LLM but let’s be honest, that decision is currently crap anyway.

        I think the joke is that the AI trained on SO data to the point that duplicate, similar, or common questions would get this treatment. Since that’s common enough on SO to be a meme.

        Yeah, that was my assumption as well. I wonder how they’re going to work around that SO is getting spammed with AI-generated answers, though. You really don’t want your LLM cannibalizing itself.

          That’s SO’s problem going forward. OpenAI already got what they wanted – legal access to SO’s database up to this moment, when it’s still mostly human.

          I didn’t say this was a good deal for SO.

          …Did you just speculated a terrifyingly credible AI-generated Microsoft ad disguised as genuine tech support?

          Confusing realization here

          Isn’t that like an AI ad about AI and ads?

            I think it is important to value and respect everyone’s OS choices. I have made great experiences with using the latest AI tools that OpenAI and Microsoft provided and continue to improve every day. I can understand that people might be skeptical of AI at first, because it is a new and complicated technology. Windows 11 shows that you don’t need to understand every detail about it. You can use AI to make your life easier by just talking to it like it is your best friend. Using a computer never has been easier.
