Stack Overflow has opened its API for artificial intelligence companies to extract data for their use since the beginning of last year, with Google being their first client. Recently, OpenAI has also announced their utilization of this service.
This announcement brings additional focus on Stack Overflow’s plan to leverage OpenAI’s services to create OverflowAI, which will aid in answering internal organizational questions. Stack Overflow has mentioned that they expect to see the results of this collaboration by mid-2024, without specifying the potential outcomes.
Potential implications could involve ChatGPT directly referencing Stack Overflow threads, introducing new models trained on Stack Overflow data, or the possibility of Stack Overflow releasing OverflowAI services sooner than expected.
