Is AI Slowly Replacing Stack Overflow?

General Discussion

So this Got me thinking, with the Advent of Artificial Intelligence. Personally as a developer I seem to visit Stack Overflow less than I usually do in recent times. As I could easily debug, code and ask question with AI tools like Chat GPT, Gemini and Grock

Dear Developers how often do you visit Stack Overflow?.

AI seems to eat a lot of SO’s traffic:

I personally still start by searching DuckDuckGo, the Google (both point to some SO discussion), and if that does not help, then ChatGPT. But I’ve seen many developers now go to ChatGPT first. This will probably happen even more now, as Siri can delegate questions to ChatGPT, so you con’d even have to open a browser for getting your questions answered.

Oh Nice read , The analytics are well detailed

Amazing how AI can help with fast, general solutions.

However Stack Overflow excels in community driven insights, peer reviewed answers, and nuanced problem solving that reflects real world experience and collaboration.

Time will tell
