    Please let this not be a sign that the enshittification of StackExchange has begun.

      Well i know mods at stackoverflow were wanting to mutiny because the owners wanted to start incorporating AI responses to questions posted there or something like that

        They are not allowing moderators to remove replies based solely on the fact that they were written by AI, regardless of how much evidence there is to that fact.

        I only ever interact with stackoverflow to read like 10-year-old responses to random problems I run into and even I want the moderators to mutiny over that. It’s arguably more serious than what Reddit is doing, because in many ways SE is the unsung backbone of technology at the moment. AI responses to technical questions are almost always wrong in some important way (even if the main idea is correct) and no moderator or group of moderators can be expected to have sufficiently broad knowledge to always know that an answer is wrong.

          Yeah that’s what I read thanks for expounding, it’s definitely not good as somebody who also uses stackoverflow pretty commonly
