And how much was AI trained on their data? That's the sad part. Nobody asking new questions, so not much more for AI to train from.

It's training on every single codebase in the world instead now

You prompt it to fix the mistakes it made and that goes into the new training data

Kind of makes me wonder how knowledge transfer is going to work in the future.

How many times have you found a random forum post solving your problem? How many countless people has that post likely helped?

Now every single person facing the same problem will regenerate from scratch the entire thought process and result. What a waste.

There needs to be some way to close the feedback loop from the work that LLMs do.

With or without training they would have gotten eaten.
