As long as stackoverflow doesn't go down too. I'll have to start banging my head against the keyboard if they both go down...
Do people even post questions there anymore? And do they get answers from real people?
No idea, I haven't in a long time. But there's a huge amount of stackoverflow answers the current generation if AI was trained on.
I read somewhere that SO was using AI to answer questions now. Not enough real people answering or something.
Could be, I haven't asked or answered a question there in a long time. Most of my questions got down voted anyway, so it was hard to get answers to stuff.
They were always notorious for expecting every question to be applicable to everyone else, so if it was even sort of specific, the question got dowvoted.
Yeah, the gatekeeping there was pretty harsh.
