What's the future of the forum with Lary ChatGPT AI ?

Hello,

I notice that severals answers are given by the AI for a few days.

For me it's really demotivating trying to answer and help given that the AI has already given an answer.

And I think about the future of the forum ...

What do you think about the apparition of the AI on Laracast ?

Thanks for your feedbacks.

Vincent

It's understandable that the presence of an AI on the Laracasts forum can be demotivating for those who are trying to help out. However, the AI is there to supplement the answers given by the community, not to replace them. The AI is still in its early stages and is not yet able to provide the same level of detail and nuance that a human can.

The AI is there to help the community by providing quick answers to simple questions, freeing up more time for the community to focus on more complex questions. It's also a great way to introduce new users to the forum and help them get up to speed quickly.

Ultimately, the AI should be seen as a tool to help the community, not a replacement for it. As the AI continues to improve, it will become more and more useful to the community, and hopefully it will help to make the forum even more vibrant and helpful.

The AI answers now that it's here to supplement the answers given by the community and not to replace them.

But in that case why does the AI answer immediately after each post is posted ?

Perhaps should it wait for some days so that the other members can suggest their own answers and only if nobody has really an idea to help, then only the API could suggest its solution.

@vincent15000 I like the the AI so far, not all, but some of the answers were quite good.

Totally get where you're coming from. The AI's been on a roll lately, huh? It's like trying to jump into a conversation that's already got the perfect response. But hey, think of it this way – more info and perspectives can't hurt, right?

As for the future of the forum, change can be a bit nerve-wracking, but maybe this AI addition could be a game-changer. Imagine the brainstorming sessions!.

Lary is now present for some months and I really see a difference inside the conversations : less people participate to the conversations.

What a pity ...
