Are LLMs making StackOverflow irrelevant?

- jarsin 2y agoWill any content based website survive after big tech "copies" all the content and present it to the user in less time than it takes to click and scroll?
- MattGaiser 2y agoI would be curious to know what percentage of Stack Overflow questions are duplicates, as any question flagged as a duplicate is really a misguided search, as the site is intended to be used. But those duplicates still get flooded with answers and votes and such before they get closed as duplicates. I farmed a lot of points on there myself by answering obvious questioned doomed to be closed that would attract lots of votes. > Another question: where will LLMs get coding Q&A training data in the future? I would venture that 90% of SO questions have answers in the documentation or in the code of the library. Discovery is just a tremendous pain. LLMs solve discovery.
- uberman 2y agoI have personally noticed that the "low hanging fruit" type questions have mostly disappeared from SO. That might be good or bad depending on your view.
