Yeah maybe stackoverflow will have less duplicate questions and more genuinely new questions which would actually remove a lot of overhead and even reduce hosting costs overall for the site. LLMs may be a good thing for sites like stackoverflow.

Yeah, I agree it should help keep duplicate questions off the platform. And it’s for sure in chaptGPTs best interest that humans continue to produce high quality data, ranked by quality even, for more effective training. I think the ultimate and best solution is one where both systems work together. A massive part of why chatGPT is so good is because the curation of data on stackoverflow is so good. Garbage in, garbage out, as the old adage goes.
