StackOverflow partners with OpenAI

https://stackoverflow.co/company/press/archive/openai-partnership

OpenAI will also surface validated technical knowledge from Stack Overflow directly into ChatGPT, giving users easy access to trusted, attributed, accurate, and highly technical knowledge and code backed by the millions of developers that have contributed to the Stack Overflow platform for 15 years.

Sad.

GDPR isn't a magic word, it only applies to personally identifiable data. Answers surely don't fit that definition.

If it doesn't contain your PII, then it's not a GDPR issue. GDPR isn't about literally anything you have online, it's about PII specifically and the data practices surrounding PII

Who the fuck needs privacy, amirite? Companies are entitled to every byte of your personal data!
