Now programmers can simply ask an AI chatbot—some of which are already trained on everything ever posted to Stack Overflow—and it can instantly spit out an answer.

Post a comment on Reddit, answer coding questions on Stack Overflow, edit a Wikipedia entry or share a baby photo on your public Facebook or Instagram feed and you are also helping to train the next generation of artificial intelligence.
