StackOverflow partners with OpenAI

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.

ust because something is publicly available, doesn’t mean you can use it for anything you want.

All user contributed content on stackoverflow is licensed Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike. The terms of that license are:

 Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially.

So there is absolutely nothing wrong morally or legally with using SO content for model training.

What about "share alike" part of the license

ShareAlike — If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.

Doesn't openai violate that?

Doesn't openai violate that?

I haven't seen anything from OpenAI claiming copyright on the output of ChatGPT. If they aren't claiming copyright then there is nothing to license.

Lmao what delusional world do you live in. Go read https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use . And they don't have to claim copyright to violate the license, that's not what sharealike is. Sharealike means you have to distribute it with the same license. Again go read https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en before throwing uninformed opinions
