Stackoverflow gets quickly steamrolled by AI.

We're not 100% there yet, but the writing on the wall is there. Just my opinion, of course.

I'd still chose someone else's stack overflow question every time over AI. AI is a last resort

That said, I have never asked a question on stack overflow as it's not exactly an inviting atmosphere

StackOverflow initially had an interesting idea of putting metrics on things, and unfortunately humanity's penchant for "what gets measured is gamed" was amplified and devolved into a hive of HOA Karens looking for infractions of the rules.

I'll bet that if you "relaunched" a SO-like system and removed all human-visible "points" or "scores" you could achieve a less toxic environment. The only "ranking" is implicit based on your topical subscriptions.

Then again, you could "relaunch" the "relaunch" and "AlphaGo-ify" a bunch of AI agents to compose the dialogs and threads without any human interaction at all. I guess we're on our way already to building Culture minds.
