The way these LLM networks work is that they require a bunch of training data, and then produce a likely outcome.

But the network cannot think, it cannot perfom fact-checking, and it cannot reflect on anything.

People come to SO for answers to questions, but LLM's can at best repeat the answer someone else has already given, so they add no real value.

At worst, adding LLM's to SO will be really harmful to the site and the community built around it.

Please don't do this.


[Correction] I know it's likely going to happen anyways, so please be careful about it. AI as a search extension would probably be a good thing, as would grammar correction when posting questions.

But please use LLM's for what they are, and not just "jump on a wagon" becase Bill Gates et al. says so. The SO community contains the brightest minds in the entire world of IT, and their combined knowledge for how to drive this site forward will be the best recipe for success.

Just follow community feedback - you have an excellent system in place for how to use this productively. Easy!
