Death by LLM: Stack Overflow's decline, and its plan to survive, shows the future of free online data in an AI world
Stack Overflow, an online community for software coders, has seen traffic fall since OpenAI's GPT-4 AI model came out earlier this year.

God the narrative of Business Insider is gross.
The only thing making SO decline is that they have a CEO. And that CEO is trying to "compete".
Just keep being a great platform for Q&A and stop chasing profits. People prefer SO because the ansewrds are trustworthy. LLMs will always bullshit you and never be better than a platform free of AI crap.
Also, LLMs are trained on SO data. It remains a staple for coding, LLMs just reinforced that.
I agree. That being said, there is some majorly bad answers on stack overflow. 9 times out of 10 I get wrong answers, and one time I was looking for a solution in Arduino and someone answered in Javascript for some reason.
