Relatedly, I have seen the graph showing the dip in SO traffic by ~30% if I'm not wrong (and the corresponding hot takes that attribute that to the rise of LLMs).
I know most people are pessimistic that LLMs will lead to SO and the web in general to be overrun by hallucinated content and AI-training-on-AI-ouroboros, but I wonder if it might instead allow for curious people to query an endlessly patient AI assistant about exactly this kind of information. (A custom GPT perhaps?)
Probably the great swaths of documentation out there that for most use cases people need not waste time sifting through if a computer can do it faster...

GPT info tools will fully replace SO in most dev workflows if it hasn’t already.
And what will GPT info tools learn from, once the public curated sources are gone?

Isn't it fun, that ChatGPT's success poisoned the well for everyone else? :)
By then, AGI will be ready, right?
