The primary problem is that while the answers which ChatGPT and other generative AI technologies produce have a high rate of being incorrect, they typically look like the answers might be good and the answers are very easy to produce. There are also many people trying out ChatGPT and other generative AI technologies to create answers, without the expertise or willingness to verify that the answer is correct prior to posting. Because such answers are so easy to produce, a large number of people are posting a lot of answers. The volume of these answers (thousands) and the fact that the answers often require a detailed read by someone with significant subject matter expertise in order to determine that the answer is actually bad has effectively swamped our volunteer-based quality curation infrastructure.

semi-related but okay so you have this small detail, and add the whole recent thing with Nanowrimo trying to claim that you're ableist and classist if you don't care for the boring output of LLMs. i'm sure there are other examples i can't remember rn but it's absolutely fascinating seeing how the people trying to force this AI shit onto us try out different social-justice-language-exploiting PR tactics, and how they quickly drop these mini-campaigns when they realize it's not working. like, you don't hear them talk about "democratizing" art much anymore, do you? now they're simply trying to guilt people into shutting up about it. interesting move, let's see how it works out for these businessboys
It really highlights how, pardon my language, artificial the push for AI is. There isn't demand. There are just advertisers and CEOs trying to push this on everyone, and they'll make up any old bullshit to try and move an inch.
