Stuff I miss about being a mod. Having the option to use the 'regular' full fat editor to write a short post, then self converting it to a comment :D
@SPArcheon about your most recent post. I'm too sleepy to coherently comment so stackoverflow.co/api-solutions/… probably is how the genAI companies get data - how they use it is another story
also I won't be posting an answer to that simply cause what I'd post would be deep speculation rather than a real answer.
@JourneymanGeek I'll be pretty honest. That question is not "speculation" like you assumed.
probably it is more of a "let me help you and tell you where the issue in what you are doing are, since I don't really trust you to have done any research at all based on the preceding history".
My comments are too speculative to be a proper answer
To have a comprehensive answer - I'd need to know what the API has, and if its used to directly train, or if it'd be a way to quote SE data in a prompt response
