It is fascinating to watch this subset of the general civilization succumb to the ongoing disease process. Forget who said it, but laws don't control conduct so much as codify the moral convictions of the host culture, i.e., the problem here at SO/SE is that the basic problem of promoting high quality questions and answers (putting aside the usual sociology, see e.g. Freeman's Tyranny of Structurelessness) is made exponentially larger (volume) by use of ChatGPT and the like (suggest replace term "AI" with "ASS" analytical search software to reduce the eschatological panic of some).

It suddenly occurred to me yesterday that what is actually happening here is that the management of Stack Exchange/Overflow wants to provide so-called AI companies a venue to test and perfect (it is impossible to make something which is intrinsically not intelligent "perfect" but Family Feud shotgunning might provide higher percentage canned responses that are not obviously garbage) their product, with the ultimate goal of selling to Microsoft, Google or the like for that specific purpose, thereby generating a large payoff for management.

Didn't realize @leanne had already discussed likely plan by SO to produce income by cooperating with AI companies. See July 7, 2023 Stack Overflow CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar interview at VentureBeat venturebeat.com/ai/… moderator-protest/ where this is pretty much confirmed. It appears Stack Exchange is dead already.
