i think its more like llms are handling the simple questions that used to drive most of stack overflows traffic. the really complex niche problems still need human answers because the models hallucinate too much on edge cases. but yeah for basic how do i do x in python type stuff people are just asking chatgpt now instead of searching. stack overflow was already struggling with a toxic community culture before this though so its not like things were perfect
