God the narrative of Business Insider is gross.
The only thing making SO decline is that they have a CEO. And that CEO is trying to "compete".
Just keep being a great platform for Q&A and stop chasing profits. People prefer SO because the ansewrds are trustworthy. LLMs will always bullshit you and never be better than a platform free of AI crap.
Also, LLMs are trained on SO data. It remains a staple for coding, LLMs just reinforced that.
