I would expect them to purchase StackOverflow too. I guess it's not that essential, seems a low cost acquisition.

I would expect them to purchase StackOverflow too. I guess it's not that essential, seems a low cost acquisition.
Why would they purchase StackOverflow ? They are partnered with the StackOverflow killer: ChatGPT.
If StackOverflow dies, surely the developer-relevant quality of training data will suffer?
After all, the capabilities of ChatGPT are basically proportional to how well a topic is represented in the training data, which is largely the internet.
If you kill your concurrent, you don't need to make your product better. But it will keep learning from it's users.
Most of the use I get out of GPT is letting it summarize stackoverflow posts for me.
It can often respond your Google query you used to find the SO page.
