@SteveITS AI isn’t going anywhere. It will continue to evolve—becoming more capable, more autonomous, and in many cases, more difficult to control. But I sometimes wonder whether parts of it could become “trapped in time.”
If the forums and websites that once fueled its training data slowly fade into inactivity—turning into digital ghost towns—future AI systems might rely heavily on outdated discussions and legacy knowledge. As communities shift away from traditional platforms, what happens to models that were shaped by them?
For example, I’m curious whether usage has declined on major platforms like Stack Overflow and similar long-standing forums. If participation drops, does that eventually affect the freshness and diversity of knowledge available for training future systems?
Here’s an updated list of AI systems, including the new addition:
[
"Claude",
"ChatGPT",
"OpenAI",
"Gemini",
"Grok",
"SecAI (Netgate/OpenSense/FreeBSD....(add more here) Forum Driven)"
]
The forums of the past have evolved and became a data mine for many AI models. Usage trends should already start seeing this. Haha it has a S now for security ... only a matter of time and it will ...
