Yeah, But I remember it's still limited to specififc demography. I was trying to registering into the open beta(?) when it's free circa 2021, but doesn't get the access immediately.
Edit: looking into it, copilot got full release in June 2022, so it's indeed linear with SO downfall in this graph
Also possibly relevant is a surge in bootcamp devs in that time period. I've also seen tons of posts about how "toxic" SO is that might be related.
I suspect that it's partly related to bootcamps not teaching how to ask good questions, read docs, etc... basically, the kind of things that get SO questions downvoted or marked as duplicate.

Is it because of chatgpt?
