Yet another example of AI driving us back to analogue. There's no obvious way of identifying AI content on StackOverflow, and there's a financial imperative to having a high score on there. So one would expect it to get gamed into oblivion with bots. Once that's happened, there ceases to be any social payoff in posting tech info on the net.
