My responsibilities at work require that I consider strategic threats. ChatGPT (artificial intelligence) is on our radar for many reasons. Anyhow, I’m thinking as AI becomes more prevalent, forums like this may become infrequently utilized, and perhaps irrelevant from a technical perspective. For instance, if someone is looking for a torque value on a rear shock on a Yamaha, it will return those results along with the steps to replace the shock, things to be careful of, brands that make shocks for the bike, links to tutorials,etc.
I like the interactions with others here on the forum. I’ve made some friends here, and on other forums. Personal relationships have greater value than any technical advice I’ve ever gained. AI could diminish that social component.
Anyhow, I’m curious to see what others think about the impact AI might have on forums like this, culture in general, or any other thoughts you might have.
I feel AI has a lot of value to offer but also presents a lot of unintended consequences that may be very negative.
