OpenAI collaborates with the Stack Overflow platform for software developers to enhance the performance of generative AI models in programming fields.
The partnership aims to boost the response of startup models in the field of artificial intelligence to programming-related questions.
Simultaneously, Stack Overflow leverages OpenAI’s expertise in developing new AI integration processes through its platform.
According to the announcement, the first batch of features should be launched by the end of June.
Collaborating with OpenAI is a clear response from the Stack Overflow platform, which initially banned ChatGPT responses due to concerns about unwanted replies.
In April, Stack Overflow began experimenting with using generative AI features and announced plans to create models that reward developers sharing knowledge on the platform.
In July, Stack Overflow released a conversational search tool that allows users to ask questions and get answers based on a database containing over 58 million questions and answers.
Some members of Stack Overflow criticized the changes, expressing concerns about the accuracy of information produced by AI and the data privacy of contributors on the platform.
Upon analyzing over 150 million lines of code, it was found that generative AI tools often introduce incorrect code snippets into codebases.
Security researchers warned that using such tools may increase the occurrence of errors and security issues in software projects.
Developers now rely on generative AI tools to carry out some programming tasks, leading to a real crisis for the platform.
The number of visitors to Stack Overflow decreased after the release of new generative AI models last year, which were often trained using Stack Overflow data.
Stack Overflow aims to engage with AI service providers like OpenAI and finalized its deal with OpenAI after collaborating with Google to enhance Gemini models in the same way. This will allow them to benefit from additional AI features on their platform.
Through its partnership with OpenAI, Stack Overflow aims to change developers’ experience and enhance efficiency and collaboration through the use of artificial intelligence experiments.
