Strong agree. There have been people who blindly copied answers from Stack Overflow without understanding the code, but most of us took the time to read the explanations that accompanied the answers.
While you can ask the AI to give you additional explanations, these explanations might be hallucinations and no one will tell you. On SO other people can point out that an answer or a comment is wrong.

There have been people who blindly copied answers from Stack Overflow without understanding the code, but most of us took the time to read the explanations that accompanied the answers. Are you sure? Because chatbots are used exactly like SO, with the exception of usecases like a) using as glorified template and refactoring engines, b) explain existing codebases, c) automatically add unit tests and context-based documentation. Just open SO and check any random question: how to get a framework to do something, how to configure something, why something worked like this or like that, why did a code block had a bug, etc.
