>I think if you won't even admit that AI greatly accelerated these trends, you're in some kind of denial

I think if you actually look at the data for these trends rather than asking AI what it thinks you might experience some cognitive dissonance.

>There's no reason to believe that we would see a rapid coordinated decline in all of these things at the same time without AI

It's called hiked interest rates. The economy is not doing so great for several reasons but the main one is wars.

Hiked interest rates cause a decline in Stackoverflow activity?

My answer doesn't change. Against the background of other phenomena already causing various trends, we see acceleration of those trends consistent with a testable hypothesis about the effects of AI adoption in industry. In most fields of science that's good evidence in favor of the model.

And no I didn't ask AI about it, this is my own opinion and my own perspective.
