If stack overflow was universally loved, AI would still kill it.
People here seem to be so emotionally invested in hating stack overflow that they seem to think AI was like ~10% of the reason it died, when it was 95%.

Both things can be true. SO was universally hated because they let (or actively incentivized) bullying run rampant and destroy the culture.
And yes, it's possible AI would have killed it anyway, despite its best efforts. But in this version of parallel universes, AI was only a catalyst. Its fate was sealed well before 2020.
