@yngmar not only, no. The last straw was clearly LLMs.

@sixohsix @yngmar pretty sure most of it is due to LLMs being good enough to answer most questions

@boilingsteam @yngmar Well yeah... LLM never tells you that your question is stupid or send you to another server to ask and answers instantly and newer gives you down-votes.

@boilingsteam @sixohsix Yes, but it has those answers because it ingested Stackoverflow.Keep in mind, LLM is just "let me google that for you" without the condescending attitude and some false answers thrown in. It can't think and work out something.So when it kills SO, there are no more new answers to be had and thus LLM doesn't know them. It killed the hand that fed it.

@yngmar @sixohsix No need for SO for a long time now. Most of LLMs are trained on synthetic data nowadays

@sixohsix @yngmar synthetic data is also generated from docs, from source code... SO is a small part of the actual source material
