AI assistants pull coding questions away from public Q&A sites like Stack Overflow.
It is like everyone asking the class whiz by DM. The class notebook starts collecting dust.
Developers ask ChatGPT or Copilot instead of posting public answers. The shared code library shrinks, and AI gets less fresh training data.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT moves many coding questions from public posts into private chats.
Copilot
Copilot puts answers inside the editor, so people search less.
Open-source Sustainability
Fewer public answers weaken the shared code library.
AI skill rot
Living on ready-made answers can weaken debugging and explaining skills.
