Not really. LLMs are good at indexing and digesting documentation, up to and including actual source code, and answering questions about it.
And they never "Vote to close as duplicate" because somebody asked something vaguely similar 10 years ago about a completely different platform and didn't get a good answer even then.
Stack Overflow is the taxi industry to AI's Uber. We needed it at one point, but it really always sucked, and unsurprisingly some people took exception to that and built something better, or at least different.
OMG YES, that site needed to die! I posted a few times on subjects I was an expert in, and hence they were difficult issues, and no one would ever answer them.
The few other times I posted they were questions about things I wasn't an expert in, hence why I was asking, and my god, it was like I was pulling them away from their busy schedules and costing them time at work. It's like you don't have to answer if you have something better to do.
