StackOverflow is destroying its brand one step at a time. ChatGPT is good for boilerplate and generic errors. I still use SO for complex errors that are still getting updated with new ways to solve that said error, etc...
Without the community posting and answering questions, ChatGPT won't work anymore. They (SO) have to block any scrapping, wait until GPU prices go down, or use open-source LLMs with their data and figure out how to monetize that service (maybe giving some percentage to devs, etc...) or even check if that approach (add a chatbot service) makes sense.
They just caved to the FOMO mentality without considering that tech is always evolving and they need engineers, dev, etc... to keep finding out bugs, writing about their experiences on how they solved those errors, etc...
We'll see if a different contender figures this out and comes out with that solution if SO doesn't change its course.
