> I've been astounded by GPT-4 and have nearly 5x-ed my productivity with it (for coding and for parsing documents).

I wonder if StackOverflow, Quora, GitHub Issues and similar websites have noticed a decrease in new questions/issues raised? LLMs have a kind of network effect that it makes people ask less questions in public sites and more privately to their own LLM sessions, and maybe even give up if the LLM does not answer. That reduces critical mass at q&a forums, so, given enough time, less people will go there for answers. I'd say that's a great loss!

In a way, sarcastically speaking, it's one of AI's way of becoming our overlords.




They have. There was a post on HN earlier today about a 17% decrease or something on SO.
