As we've seen with chatbots convincing each other that you can "melt eggs," Chandrasekar has argued that sites like Stack Overflow are essential for chatbots, saying they need "to be trained on something that's progressing knowledge forward.

Or, you know, fact check before you feed it to the AI. You don't tell a child 'go google it' to everything and hope it somehow works out, right? "But then AI could never be profitable!" Oh the irony.

Btw, would a common language model be possible?
