Comment on AI didn't kill Stack Overflow

Comments

I was never a big SO user in terms of asking questions or providing answers (maybe a total of 10 questions and ~15 answers all time), but I did browse a ton and learned a whole lot.

Thanks to ChatGPT and Claude, I just don't see the need anymore, when I can get an answer tailored to my problem in 5 seconds, and ask as many follow up questions as needed, with minimal snark.

But where do the AIs get the training data for newer languages or frameworks?
