OverflowAI: duplicate of “how to tie-dye a shirt”
As an AI model, I cannot answer duplicate questions. Please check this completely unrelated question instead.
As a language model, did you even RTFM?
Alternatively: as a language model, found the issue!
If it's trained on previous community interaction, it's just going to automatically tell people (in the rudest way possible) their question is a duplicate and kill the thread for each and every new post.
Will the ai be as cowardly as the people who vote to close without comment?
Better than the ones with 300k reputation who comment to tell you why your question is shit and encourage everyone to close while making up or grossly misinterpreting the rules.
Then they find you a few weeks later and do it again.
Great, now an AI is gonna tell me my questions are dumb
So they banned chatGPT answers because they didn’t want competition!
Oh great. Another place on the web where my usage of it will simply feed some new language model.
The generally unhelpful attitude of the community aside, I don't think these one-of-a-kind problems lend themselves to AI very well.
