Okay… critical. What would you do differently? What would be your strategy to save Stack Overflow? Imagine you’re the CEO 6 months ago. ChatGPT is has decimated your daily active users. People are now posting GPT answers so that they can game the kudos reward system. You’re faced with a really complicated landscape. The data your community created has been used to train an AI system that now replaces a large part of the need for your community. The truth is that GPT can’t answer new questions about new technologies, it is only able to quickly search and synthesize the data that has already been accumulated on sites like yours. How do you focus your community to answer new questions or refine old answers? What do you do? How do you fix this?
It’s far too easy to point out one thing someone did wrong in your eyes, but what would you do differently?
