SO is a collaborative encyclopedia of technical discussion that tries to be relevant, be practical, and to not constantly repeat topics.
LLMs can’t provide that structure, they just shit out answers.
Most people think SO is a help desk and don’t appreciate the structure and just want it to shit out an answer.
Maybe SO isn’t dying so much as a cancerous growth is being treated.
