In addition to using an ad blocker, I highly recommend this. Nothing of value is lost for me, but some marketers are probably crying somewhere

Stack Overflow announced that they are partnering with OpenAI, so I tried to delete my highest-rated answers.

Stack Overflow does not let you delete questions that have accepted answers and many upvotes because it would remove knowledge from the community.

So instead I changed my highest-rated answers to a protest message.

Within an hour mods had changed the questions back and suspended my account for 7 days.

@ben I agree with you in principle, but I’m pretty sure AI models were/would be trained on SO, no matter if they signed a deal or not.

@ben @PurpleJillybeans They really show their hand with just how easily they lie. "Extensive deletions" clearly don't take a lot of effort to repair: they can just roll them back with a few clicks.

@ben It's awful business practice, but not surprising at all. SO is tanking because of CoPilot/ChatGPT et al.
They have two options, and I'm sure this means they've decided not to try and sue big tech.
