Is AI the end off all forums? (2 Viewers)

[MsAccessNL]

I see that the number of posts on coding forms is decreasing rapidly….

Interesting observation. I certainly go to AI first these days...

Not only that, Google altered its algo recently and we lost about 20-25% of traffic to AWF as a result. They are favouring sites like Reddit instead.

But remember, AI will be the end of masses of stuff. The disruption will be huge. And we are on the cusp of domestic robots too. Everything is about to change. I wouldn't be surprised if in 5 to 10 years time we will be getting our haircut by a robot.

So where does AI get its info? Forums? If the forums are gone, nothing new? So stagnation?

You can see ChatGPT interrogates forums when you ask a complex question

I think this (AI new era) will be the start of some AI forums

No chance. My lady barbers are too much fun and have nice legs.

True, but how many truly unique new questions are there as a percentage of all current technical questions? Are we talking about incremental increases or substantial, consequential increases?

In theory, of course, the point made is valid. In other spheres. recycling the same stuff over and over is known as an Echo Chamber. And it's not good.

A problem is that an AI, when it interrogates forums, does not know fact from fiction. Consequently, it has to weigh each "interrogation" before generating its response. Hopefully, the underlying algorithm will "pick" the best response.

PS: I also noticed that an AI may not be time sensitive. "Incorrect" AI responses may result as a consequence of an application being updated but the AI responds as if there was no update since there is a lack of information.

Not me! Firstly you need to have hair (for me distant memory) and I'll need to live that long!

I would get a robot haircut, I'm already trusting an absolute stranger. It's only hair, it'll grow back.
