You hit the nail on the head. The ironic part is that Stack Overflow's harsh environment made AI look so much better, but now we're running out of the very human knowledge AI needs to learn from.
If developers stop posting their real-world fixes publicly, future AI models will just keep recycling old data from a few years ago. The real issue down the road isn't just getting quick answers - it's losing the places where new solutions are actually built and shared in the open.
