GPT generated text:
Once a lively place where students, researchers, and curious wanderers exchanged ideas, our statistics platform has fallen oddly silent. The questions still appear, perfectly phrased; the answers arrive instantly, impeccably formatted—but they are no longer ours. The AI took over the heavy lifting, then the light lifting, and finally everything in between.
We remain as caretakers of a machine that no longer needs us, nodding at flawless explanations we didn’t write, approving solutions we can barely improve. The discussions that once sparked creativity and debate have thinned to a quiet hum of automated efficiency.
It works better than ever.And somehow, that’s the saddest part.
RIP our statistics platform—may the memory of human messiness live on in the archives.
Even AI expresses it better than I do.
I have become more silent in the recent year. I liked to tackle many questions, even when I didn't understand them at first. I saw them as a learning opportunity.
But recently, I lost the spark that excited me in finding answers to questions. The tone has changed. The questions are different. I feel more and more like a sad GPT AI answering simplistic questions.
Those questions, they have turned into monsters.
If we want to keep this platform alive. Then we need human involvement. As a person that has been mostly posting answers instead of posting questions, I have been doing this with a huge deal of self-interest. For me the questions (and how to answer them) were like little puzzles. I liked those puzzles.
If AI takes this away, then that's the final nail to the coffin.
This new development of AI assistants, recently developed for SO, needs to be toned down. It needs to be toned down in such a way, that the platform remains interesting for both people that are posting questions and people that are answering them.
