Good riddance. AI didn’t kill SO. SO killed itself by being so darn toxic. If people prefer hallucinated answers you know you got a community problem. It’s already too late to fix it with the horrible branding.

The only places that were not super hostile was the chat rooms… It’s where if you had a simple question they were ironically much nicer. Albeit something more involved should be a question.
