Humans manually posting AI responses is dumb.

Stack Overflow should have a built-in AI responder, marked as such, that gives an instant unverified first response, which can then be checked and corrected by human moderators.

This is not what I want Stack Overflow for, and I think it would discourage higher quality responses from humans.

If you want a ChatGPT answer to a question, go ask ChatGPT (directly, or through one of the many more focused frontends people have built for it). But Stack Overflow should encourage answers from real humans.

I do wonder what would happen if they scrapped karma. The right answers will still get upvoted, but there's no longer any incentive for those seeking internet points.
