Stack Overflow mods go on strike

and as always, the culprit is ChatGPT. Stack Overflow Inc. won't let their mods take down AI-generated content

It seems to me like StackOverflow is really shooting themselves in the foot by allowing AI generated answers. Even if we assume that all AI generated answers are "correct", doesn't that completely destroy the purpose of the site? Like, if I were seeking an answer to some Python-related problem, why wouldn't I go straight to ChatGPT or similar language models instead then? That way I also don't have to deal with some of the other issues that plague StackOverflow such as "this question is a duplicate of <insert unrelated question> - closed!".
