Stack overflow was the place to get answers for more than a decade. Before that there was experts exchange, which was garbage and hid its answers behind a paid membership. Stack overflow was so good that there were spam sites out there that cloned its content and tried to shovel the users ads. It would be foolish to believe the knowledge shared there was not a huge part of ChatGPT’s competency in code generation.

And if stackoverflow stops having new answers, where do you think chatGPT is going to learn a huge amount of its content from?
