AI is definitely a big part of it. When I would search Google with a technical question and land on StackOverflow I was looking for an answer. Sometimes you get a post which is similar, but not quite right, or the answers are only 95% of answering your actual questions.
AI of course just answers it. I can ask it follow ups, I can give it loose code and it just gets it. My grammar can be riddled with spelling errors and it still gets it. I can go back and forth with it and get a fine tuned answer.
When I used SO I had always just wanted an answer, but had to accept answers that were close, but not quite what I needed.
God forbid if I needed to post a question. I'd immediately get hit with over moderation, or someone closing the question for whatever reason.
I used to be an avid SO contributor up until around ~2015. I saw the mod community turn snarky. AI is just a better way to get stuff done.
