@ -11,7 +11,9 @@ _Quick note: This isn't an "AI bad" rant. AI tools are a useful thing to have in
This post was inspired by a post on [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46482345) that linked to this [StackOverflow data](https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1926661#graph).
My kneejerk reaction was that the rise in AI and its code analysis capabilities have caused the downfall of StackOverflow. We can see a peak after a gradual decline in early 2020 (COVID bedroom coders?) which then returns to a roughly normal level by 2021, before starting a stark decline into obscurity, very much accelerating at the end of 2022.
My kneejerk reaction to the data was that the rise in AI and its code analysis capabilities have caused the downfall of StackOverflow, but I needed some data to back it up.
