I've definitely been using it a lot less because garbage-collection seems to be nonexistent on this platform. So many accepted answers are woefully outdated and so many non-accepted answers are, in my opinion, not acceptable. For some reason, the Stack Exchange team doesn't see this as a problem. It's definitely hindered my use of their site. AI plays a role a little bit because it can answer a lot of basic programming questions, but theoretically Stack Overflow should still be a good place to find good information on cutting edge topics – and yet that seems to no longer be the case. It's easy to blame AI, but Stack Overflow has been in decline for several years before GPT became public.
There's also a lot of petty nonsense that goes on with that site. Not as badly as somewhere like Wikipedia, but there's still lots of... peculiar personalities on Stack Overflow who participate in ways that are not constructive.
