| Jan 29, 2020 at 13:52 | comment | added | theMayer | @PeterMortensen - it goes without saying that there is no AI capable of the level of understanding and sophistication that users on stack overflow and other sites possess. And I would hope that "internet points" are as worthless as they appear to be. I'd like to meet someone who spends freely of their time and talent on this site with some motivation beyond providing help to others. | |
| Jan 29, 2020 at 11:21 | comment | added | This_is_NOT_a_forum | @Josef says Reinstate Monica: Some will do anything for Internet points and many have the intrinsic motivation of wanting to help others (example: Jon Skeet). The rest could be made up for by non-AI and AI automation and the much-needed creation of (real) FAQs. Throwing links (together with politeness) could make up 90% of responses. | |

| Jan 18, 2020 at 20:09 | comment | added | This_is_NOT_a_forum | The community is irrelevant now (thus nothing to manage). It is all about accommodating newbies (where the growth is supposed to come from), by offering a help desk (or the equivalent), removing downvotes and closing, removing meta, etc. Hopefully a helpdesk as an extra feature, not something that will destroy the knowledge base. Tutorial-like features would also be a natural step, perhaps with gamification ("Want to play this game where you save the Lemmings with Python code?"). | |
