Like any question on the platform, it needs to meet the same standards and guidelines and can be closed if it does not." @Rosie Just to make sure: you do understand that probably less than one in a thousand questions that someone might prompt Gemini with, would actually be suitable for a SE site where they're on topic? At least if it's a remotely technical subject? | |
| Mar 13 at 21:28 | comment | added | Dan Mašek | @KevinB :D :D | However, not that I read it, somehow I wrote "answers", but I really had "questions" in mind. If it's something that has been asked many times before, but never got any answers... well, probably no point asking that yet again. | |
| Mar 13 at 21:17 | comment | added | Kevin B | @DanMašek i mean, in theory, if the answer exists surely gemini will find it, right? right? | |
| Mar 13 at 21:09 | comment | added | Dan Mašek | @Rosie "if a Gemini user doesn't receive a satisfactory response there, they'll be able to submit their question to Stack Overflow" -- where will the searching for existing answers (duplicates) come in in that sequence of steps? Or are we just going to get more low-effort crap dumped on us to clean up (and inevitably get flak for doing so)? | |
| Mar 13 at 20:58 | comment | added | Zoe - Save the data dump | The fact you continue to dump more and more work on us (just like you're about to do to SO with that other thing I can't talk about because you lot delayed the announcement) while doing little to nothing to deal with our problems and our lack of resources is completely incompatible with a model where you continue using free labour so you don't have to put resources into dealing with quality. You can only strain your available resources so much before you see a collapse. Pushing a feature going against one of the community-decided policies is probably the single worst thing you can do right now | |
| Mar 13 at 20:54 | comment | added | Zoe - Save the data dump | @Rosie You do know that the lack of onboarding (I'm getting so tired of having to repeat "onboarding", but here we go again) has dwindled down the pool of curators too, right? We don't have enough diamond mods nor curators to keep up with the current influx of any singular type of post - adding genAI on top of that (which, by the way, is a blatant violation of the current genAI ban as it stands) still adds more work for curators, and it's still a group that can barely keep up with the current volume. The mod vs. curator distinction does not change the underlying concern in this case | |
| Mar 13 at 20:47 | comment | added | dan1st | Also, how else will Gemini (and Gemini users) interact with SO in other ways you haven't told us about? | |
| Mar 13 at 20:42 | comment | added | dan1st | @Rosie What does submitting a question to SO mean? Can they directly ask a SO question from indide GCP/The Gemini UI/whatever Google uses there? Will that include possible AI modifications (e.g. formatting assistents)? Do the Gemini-SO-askers need to undergo the exact same process as other askers (including future changes like a possible Staging ground (please add the Staging ground thoughthat'sanother thing))? | |
| Mar 13 at 20:24 | comment | added | Rosie StaffMod | @Karsten the intent isn't to create additional work for moderators. I think a more accurate way to explain how this will work is if a Gemini user doesn't receive a satisfactory response there, they'll be able to submit their question to Stack Overflow. Like any question on the platform, it needs to meet the same standards and guidelines and can be closed if it does not. The article uses "Moderators" when, in our model, everyone takes moderator actions. | |
| Mar 13 at 16:56 | comment | added | dan1st | @Karsten Is it CEO-GPT hallucinating? | |
| Mar 13 at 15:42 | comment | added | ColleenV | @Karsten The point of my quote was that Wired interviewed Chandraseker and he was the source of the information. I wonder if he is using "moderator" to mean something different from the elected site moderators. | |
| Mar 13 at 15:36 | comment | added | Karsten | @ColleenV Maybe the claim about moderator involvement was a hallucination. | |
| Mar 13 at 13:14 | comment | added | ColleenV | @dan1stiscrying “Their AI may not have all the answers, and so we have a huge ability to help complete that loop,” Chandrasekar says. It looks like they're trying to get more participation by funneling questions and answers from people using Google's AI. | |
| Mar 13 at 13:07 | comment | added | dan1st | Also: Where did WIRED get that information from that we didn't get? | |
| Mar 13 at 13:06 | comment | added | ColleenV | Oh I doubt anyone is going to get paid. | |
