"ChatGPT, how do I use a Java SQL connector?"
"Duplicate question, closed"
Are we sure this deal is about answering new SO questions with LLM? It's more likely to be a deal where SO sells access to its database to OpenAI so they can use human-generated content for LLM training, and SO gets to use LLM as a more efficient search through its human-generated content.
It's possible they could also choose to delegate the duplicate decision to the LLM but let's be honest, that decision is currently crap anyway.
I think the joke is that the AI trained on SO data to the point that duplicate, similar, or common questions would get this treatment. Since that's common enough on SO to be a meme.
